forward_list::splice_after

Removes elements from a source forward_list and inserts them into a destination forward_list.

// insert the entire source forward_list
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list& Source );
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list&& Source );

// insert one element of the source forward_list
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list& Source, const_iterator Iter );
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list&& Source, const_iterator Iter );

// insert a range of elements from the source forward_list
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list& Source, const_iterator First, const_iterator Last );
void splice_after( const_iterator Where, forward_list&& Source, const_iterator First, const_iterator Last );

Parameters

  • Where
    The position in the destination forward_list after which to insert.

  • Source
    The source forward_list that is to be inserted into the destination forward_list.

  • Iter
    The element to be inserted from the source forward_list.

  • First
    The first element in the range to be inserted from source forward_list.

  • Last
    The first position beyond the range to be inserted from the source forward_list.

Remarks

The first pair of member functions inserts the sequence controlled by Source just after the element in the controlled sequence pointed to by Where. It also removes all elements from Source. (&Source must not equal this.)

The second pair of member functions removes the element just after Iter in the sequence controlled by Source and inserts it just after the element in the controlled sequence pointed to by Where. (If Where == Iter || Where == ++Iter, no change occurs.)

The third pair of member functions (ranged splice) inserts the subrange designated by (First, Last) from the sequence controlled by Source just after the element in the controlled sequence pointed to by Where. It also removes the original subrange from the sequence controlled by Source. (If &Source == this, the range (First, Last) must not include the element pointed to by Where.)

If the ranged splice inserts N elements, and &Source != this, an object of class iterator is incremented N times.

No iterators, pointers, or references that designate spliced elements become invalid.

Example

// forward_list_splice_after.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc /W4
#include <forward_list>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

template <typename S> void print(const S& s) {
    for (const auto& p : s) {
        cout << "(" << p << ") ";
    }

    cout << endl;
}

int main()
{
    forward_list<int> c1{ 10, 11 };
    forward_list<int> c2{ 20, 21, 22 };
    forward_list<int> c3{ 30, 31 };
    forward_list<int> c4{ 40, 41, 42, 43 };

    forward_list<int>::iterator where_iter;
    forward_list<int>::iterator first_iter;
    forward_list<int>::iterator last_iter;

    cout << "Beginning state of lists:" << endl;
    cout << "c1 = ";
    print(c1);
    cout << "c2 = ";
    print(c2);
    cout << "c3 = ";
    print(c3);
    cout << "c4 = ";
    print(c4);

    where_iter = c2.begin();
    ++where_iter; // start at second element
    c2.splice_after(where_iter, c1);
    cout << "After splicing c1 into c2:" << endl;
    cout << "c1 = ";
    print(c1);
    cout << "c2 = ";
    print(c2);

    first_iter = c3.begin();
    c2.splice_after(where_iter, c3, first_iter);
    cout << "After splicing the first element of c3 into c2:" << endl;
    cout << "c3 = ";
    print(c3);
    cout << "c2 = ";
    print(c2);

    first_iter = c4.begin();
    last_iter = c4.end();
    // set up to get the middle elements
    ++first_iter;
    c2.splice_after(where_iter, c4, first_iter, last_iter);
    cout << "After splicing a range of c4 into c2:" << endl;
    cout << "c4 = ";
    print(c4);
    cout << "c2 = ";
    print(c2);
}
Beginning state of lists:
c1 = (10) (11)
c2 = (20) (21) (22)
c3 = (30) (31)
c4 = (40) (41) (42) (43)
After splicing c1 into c2:
c1 =
c2 = (20) (21) (10) (11) (22)
After splicing the first element of c3 into c2:
c3 = (30)
c2 = (20) (21) (31) (10) (11) (22)
After splicing a range of c4 into c2:
c4 = (40) (41)
c2 = (20) (21) (42) (43) (31) (10) (11) (22)
