So reallocation in this sense should always invalidate iterators. And since ustring (and std::string) is a random-access container, it must have contiguous memory, so any increase in capacity must cause a reallocation. So, any insert/append or anything else that adds elements. but there's a point: if you had previously reserve()d enough capacity, beyond the current size, for the insert point and length, then as long as you stay within the capacity you had, your iterators should remain valid, as reallocation is guaranteed not to occur in such cases.
