NAME¶

std::unordered_set::max_bucket_count - std::unordered_set::max_bucket_count

Synopsis¶

size_type max_bucket_count() const; (since C++11)

Returns the maximum number of buckets the container is able to hold due to system or
library implementation limitations.

Parameters¶

(none)

Return value¶

Maximum number of buckets.

Complexity¶

Constant.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <unordered_set>

int main()
{
struct Ha { std::size_t operator()(long x) const { return std::hash<long>{}(x); }; };

auto c1 = std::unordered_set<char>{};
auto c2 = std::unordered_set<long>{};
auto c3 = std::unordered_set<long, std::hash<int>>{};
auto c4 = std::unordered_set<long, Ha>{};

std::cout
<< "Max bucket count of\n" << std::hex << std::showbase
<< "c1: " << c1.max_bucket_count() << '\n'
<< "c2: " << c2.max_bucket_count() << '\n'
<< "c3: " << c3.max_bucket_count() << '\n'
<< "c4: " << c4.max_bucket_count() << '\n'
;
}

Possible output:¶

Max bucket count of
c1: 0xfffffffffffffff
c2: 0xfffffffffffffff
c3: 0xfffffffffffffff
c4: 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
