Bug #: 54268
Summary: std::string::reserve not consistent with
std::vector::reserve
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: vincenzo.innoce...@cern.ch
as the following test shows std::string::reserve change capacity (and relocates
the underling array) even in case the argument is smaller than the current
capacity.
std::vector::reserve will instead only extend the capacity, never shirk it?
Is this intended? IN any case in pretty conducing for the naive developer…
cat stringReserve.cpp
#include <cassert>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
{
std::string foo,bar;
foo.reserve(100);
std::cout << foo.capacity() << std::endl;
std::cerr << std::hex << (size_t) foo.c_str() << std::endl;
foo.reserve(10);
std::cout << foo.capacity()<< std::endl;
std::cerr << (size_t) foo.c_str() << std::endl;
bar.reserve(100);
foo.reserve(50);
std::cout << foo.capacity() << std::endl;
std::cerr << (size_t) foo.c_str() << std::endl;
}
{
std::vector<char> foo,bar;
foo.reserve(100);
std::cout << foo.capacity() << std::endl;
std::cerr << std::hex << (size_t) (&foo.front()) << std::endl;
foo.reserve(10);
std::cout << foo.capacity() << std::endl;
std::cerr << (size_t) (&foo.front()) << std::endl;
bar.reserve(100);
foo.reserve(50);
std::cout << foo.capacity() << std::endl;
std::cerr << (size_t) (&foo.front()) << std::endl;
}
}
