Deduction guides(C++17)

void clear() noexcept;		(since C++11)

Removes all elements from the container. After this call, size() returns zero.

Invalidates any references, pointers, or iterators referring to contained elements. May also invalidate past-the-end iterators.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

(none)

Complexity

Linear in the size of the container, i.e., the number of elements.

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 2550	C++11	for unordered associative containers, unclear if complexity is linear in the number of elements or buckets	clarified that it's linear in the number of elements
