Hi,
Is it not legal to access an element that has been reserved?
For example:
vector<int> x;
x.reserve(10);
x[0] = 1;
This is throwing an exception with VS 2005, but worked fine for VS 2002.
From what I understand, reserve allocated memory but does not adjust the
internal "size" member. So technically, I should be able to access the
elements?

Reserve allocates memory, but doesn't create any objects. The above vector
contains 0 objects of type int, but you can add (e.g. with push_back) at
least 10 without a reallocation happening. You can't access any objects
yet, because there are still none in the vector. Whatever "internal"
members a vector might or might not have is of no relevance for that.
That's an implementation detail you aren't supposed to care about.
So technically, I should be able to access the elements?
No, because there are no elements yet. If you want a vector with 10
elemenents, try using resize() instead of reserve(). No, because there are no elements yet. If you want a vector with 10
elemenents, try using resize() instead of reserve().
I can accept this. However, I don't get how an allocation can occur without
creating objects. Presumably, reserve does something like this:
data = new type[n]; // where n = amount to reserve.
Thus data[j] should be accessible for 0 <= j < n.

There are ways of allocating raw memory without creating objects (using
global operator new), and there are ways of turning that raw memory (using
placement new).
Thus data[j] should be accessible for 0 <= j < n.
It might be, but there is no guarantee, unless you actually resize the
vector. There are ways of allocating raw memory without creating objects (using
global operator new), and there are ways of turning that raw memory (using
placement new).
Okay I didn't know this. Thanks.

If you want to create elements in a vector en-masse, use
resize() not reserve(). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

If you reserve a certain amount of memory for a std::vector, what

I mean, say I reserve for 500 elements, the insertion of 501st element

vector re-grows to accomodate 1000 elements, I play around with it and
completely erase everything in it after I am done. Now how much does

What is the official word on what happens if I call reserve() on an
std::vector, and specify a capacity that is less than the current
*size* (not capacity) of that vector? Is it supposed to resize() the
vector as well? Or just not modify anything?
Thanks,
