How do I use advanced features of std::list in C++11?

What are some advanced features of std::list in C++11?

C++11 introduced several features for std::list, including initializer lists, move semantics, and new member functions like emplace_front and emplace_back.

Can you explain how to use emplace_back with an example?

Sure! emplace_back constructs an element in place at the end of the list. For example:

std::list<std::string> myList;
myList.emplace_back("Hello");
myList.emplace_back("World");

This adds "Hello" and "World" to the list.

What about the move semantics? How does that work with std::list?

Move semantics allow you to transfer ownership of resources without copying. For std::list, you can move elements from one list to another using std::move, which is efficient.

Can std::list be used with custom objects?

Yes, std::list can store custom objects as long as they are copyable or movable. You can use emplace_back to construct them directly in the list.
