std::list::emplace_back
From cppreference.com
| template< class... Args > void emplace_back( Args&&... args ); |
(since C++11) | |
Appends a new element to the end of the container. The element is constructed in-place, i.e. no copy or move operations are performed. The constructor of the element is called with exactly the same arguments that are supplied to the function.
No iterators or references are invalidated.

If an exception is thrown, this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee).
[edit] Example
The following code uses emplace_back to append an object of type President to a std::list. It demonstrates how emplace_back forwards parameters to the President constructor and shows how using emplace_back avoids the extra copy or move operation required when using push_back.
Run this code
#include <list> #include <string> #include <iostream> struct President { std::string name; std::string country; int year; President(std::string p_name, std::string p_country, int p_year) : name(std::move(p_name)), country(std::move(p_country)), year(p_year) { std::cout << "I am being constructed.\n"; } President(President&& other) : name(std::move(other.name)), country(std::move(other.country)), year(other.year) { std::cout << "I am being moved.\n"; } President& operator=(const President& other) = default; }; int main() { std::list<President> elections; std::cout << "emplace_back:\n"; elections.emplace_back("Nelson Mandela", "South Africa", 1994); std::list<President> reElections; std::cout << "\npush_back:\n"; reElections.push_back(President("Franklin Delano Roosevelt", "the USA", 1936)); std::cout << "\nContents:\n"; for (President const& president: elections) { std::cout << president.name << " was elected president of " << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n"; } for (President const& president: reElections) { std::cout << president.name << " was re-elected president of " << president.country << " in " << president.year << ".\n"; } }
Output:
emplace_back: I am being constructed. push_back: I am being constructed. I am being moved. Contents: Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa in 1994. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was re-elected president of the USA in 1936.
