(constexpr since C++26)

Constructs new container from a variety of data sources and optionally using user supplied allocator alloc or comparison function object comp .

1-3) Constructs an empty container.
4,5) Constructs the container with the contents of the range [ first , last ) .
If [ first , last ) is not a valid range , the behavior is undefined.
6,7) Constructs the container with the copy of the contents of other .

If alloc is not provided, allocator is obtained by calling std:: allocator_traits < allocator_type > ::
select_on_container_copy_construction ( other. get_allocator ( ) ) .

(since C++11)

During class template argument deduction , only the first argument contributes to the deduction of the container's Allocator template parameter.

(since C++23)
8,9) Constructs the container with the contents of other using move semantics. If alloc is not provided, allocator is obtained by move-construction from the allocator belonging to other .

During class template argument deduction , only the first argument contributes to the deduction of the container's Allocator template parameter.

(since C++23)
10,11) Constructs the container with the contents of the initializer list init .
12,13) Constructs the container with the contents of rg .

Contents

Parameters

alloc - allocator to use for all memory allocations of this container
comp - comparison function object to use for all comparisons of keys
first, last - the pair of iterators defining the source range of elements to copy
other - another container to be used as source to initialize the elements of the container with
init - initializer list to initialize the elements of the container with
rg - a container compatible range , that is, an input_range whose elements are convertible to value_type
Type requirements
-
InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator .
-
Compare must meet the requirements of Compare .
-
Allocator must meet the requirements of Allocator .

Complexity

1-3) Constant.
4,5) N·log(N) where N is std:: distance ( first, last ) in general, linear in N if [ first , last ) is already sorted by value_comp ( ) .
6,7) Linear in size of other .
8,9) Constant. If alloc is given and alloc ! = other. get_allocator ( ) , then linear.
10,11) N·log(N) where N is init. size ( ) in general, linear in N if init is already sorted by value_comp ( ) .
12,13) N·log(N) where N is ranges:: distance ( rg ) in general, linear in N if rg is already sorted by value_comp ( ) .

Exceptions

Calls to Allocator::allocate may throw.

Notes

After container move construction (overload ( 8,9 ) ), references, pointers, and iterators (other than the end iterator) to other remain valid, but refer to elements that are now in * this . The current standard makes this guarantee via the blanket statement in [container.reqmts]/67 , and a more direct guarantee is under consideration via LWG issue 2321 .

Although not formally required until C++23, some implementations has already put the template parameter Allocator into non-deduced contexts in earlier modes.

Example

Run this code 
#include <iostream>
#include <set>
#include <string_view>
template <typename T>
void println(const std::string_view name, const std::multiset<T>& ms)
{
    std::cout << name << ": ";
    for (const auto& element : ms)
        std::cout << element << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
int main()
{
    // (1) Default constructor
    std::multiset<int> a;
    a.insert(4);
    a.insert(3);
    a.insert(2);
    a.insert(1);
    println("a", a);
    // (4) Range constructor
    std::multiset<int> b(a.begin(), a.find(3));
    println("b", b);
    // (6) Copy constructor
    std::multiset<int> c(a);
    println("c", c);
    // (8) Move constructor
    std::multiset<int> d(std::move(a));
    println("d", d);
    // (10) Initializer list constructor
    std::multiset<int> e{3, 2, 1, 2, 4, 7, 3};
    println("e", e);
    // (12) Range constructor
    const auto w = {"α", "β", "γ", "δ", "δ", "γ", "β", "α"};
#if __cpp_lib_containers_ranges
    std::multiset<std::string> f(std::from_range, w); // overload (12)
#else
    std::multiset<std::string> f(w.begin(), w.end()); // fallback to (4)
#endif
    println("f", f);
}

Output: 

a: 1 2 3 4
b: 1 2
c: 1 2 3 4
d: 1 2 3 4
e: 1 2 2 3 3 4 7
f: α α β β γ γ δ δ

Defect reports

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 2076 C++11 overload ( 4 ) conditionally required Key to be CopyInsertable into * this not required
