Inserts element(s) into the container, if the container does not already contain an element with an equivalent key.

1) Inserts value . Equivalent to return emplace ( value ) ; .
2) Inserts value . Equivalent to return emplace ( std :: move ( value ) ) ; .
3) Inserts value in the position as close as possible to the position just prior to pos . Equivalent to return emplace_hint ( pos, value ) ; .
4) Inserts value in the position as close as possible to the position just prior to pos . Equivalent to return emplace_hint ( pos, std :: move ( value ) ) ; .
5,7) If * this already contains an element which transparently compares equivalent to x , does nothing. Otherwise, inserts a new element as if by:
  • (5) emplace ( pos, std:: forward < K > ( x ) ) (in the position as close as possible to the position just prior to pos );
  • (7) emplace ( std:: forward < K > ( x ) ) .
The conversion from x into key_type must construct an object u , for which find ( k ) == find ( u ) is true . Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if which together allows calling this function without constructing an instance of Key .
6) Equivalent to the sequence of operations:
  1. Inserts elements from range [ first , last ) as if by c. insert ( c. end ( ) , first, last ) ; .
  2. Sorts the range of newly inserted elements with respect to compare .
  3. Merges the resulting sorted range and the sorted range of pre-existing elements into a single sorted range. (Note: the merge operation may allocate memory).
  4. Erases all but the first element from each group of consecutive equivalent elements.
If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending LWG2844 ).
8) Inserts elements from range [ first , last ) . Equivalent to insert ( first, last ) ; .
If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending LWG2844 ).
9) Inserts elements from initializer list ilist . Equivalent to insert ( ilist. begin ( ) , ilist. end ( ) ) ; .
If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending LWG2844 ).
10) Inserts elements from initializer list ilist . Equivalent to insert ( s, ilist. begin ( ) , ilist. end ( ) ) ; .
If multiple elements in the range have keys that compare equivalent, it is unspecified which element is inserted (pending LWG2844 ).

Parameters

pos - iterator to the position before which the new element will be inserted
value - element value to insert
first, last - the pair of iterators defining the source range of elements to insert
ilist - initializer list to insert the values from
x - a value of any type that can be transparently compared with a key
s - a disambiguation tag indicating that the input sequence is sorted (with respect to compare ) and contains only unique elements
Type requirements
-
InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator .

Return value

1,2) A pair consisting of an iterator to the inserted element (or to the element that prevented the insertion) and a bool value set to true if and only if the insertion took place.
3-5) An iterator to the inserted element, or to the element that prevented the insertion.
6) (none)
7) A pair consisting of an iterator to the inserted element (or to the element that prevented the insertion) and a bool value set to true if and only if the insertion took place.
8-10) (none)

Exceptions

1-5,7) If an exception is thrown by any operation, the insertion has no effect.
This section is incomplete
Reason: cases 6,8-10

Complexity

1,2) Logarithmic in size() , plus the cost of insertion into c .
3-5) Amortized constant if the insertion happens in the position just before pos , logarithmic in size() otherwise. Plus the cost of insertion into c .
6) N + M·log ( M ) , where N is the size() before the operation and M is std:: distance ( first, last ) .
7) Logarithmic in size() , plus the cost of insertion into c .
8) Linear in N , where N is size() after the operation.
9) N + M·log ( M ) , where N is the size() before the operation and M is ilist. size ( ) .
10) Linear in N , where N is size() after the operation.

Notes

The hinted insert ( 3-5 ) does not return a boolean in order to be signature-compatible with positional insert on sequential containers, such as std::vector::insert . This makes it possible to create generic inserters such as std::inserter . One way to check success of a hinted insert is to compare size() before and after.

Example

Run this code 
#include <cassert>
#include <flat_set>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
    std::flat_set<int> set;
    auto result_1 = set.insert(3);
    assert(result_1.first != set.end()); // it is a valid iterator
    assert(*result_1.first == 3);
    if (result_1.second)
        std::cout << "insert done\n";
    auto result_2 = set.insert(3);
    assert(result_2.first == result_1.first); // the same iterator
    assert(*result_2.first == 3);
    if (!result_2.second)
        std::cout << "no insertion\n";
}

Output: 

insert done
no insertion
