std::vector<int> a;
std::vector<int> b;
std::vector<int> c;
I would like to concatenate these three vectors by appending b
's and c
's elements to a
. Which is the best way to do this, and why?
1) By using vector::insert
:
a.reserve(a.size() + b.size() + c.size());
a.insert(a.end(), b.begin(), b.end());
a.insert(a.end(), c.begin(), c.end());
b.clear();
c.clear();
2) By using std::copy
:
a.reserve(a.size() + b.size() + c.size());
std::copy(b.begin(), b.end(), std::inserter(a, a.end()));
std::copy(c.begin(), c.end(), std::inserter(a, a.end()));
b.clear();
c.clear();
3) By using std::move
(from C++11
):
a.reserve(a.size() + b.size() + c.size());
std::move(b.begin(), b.end(), std::inserter(a, a.end()));
std::move(c.begin(), c.end(), std::inserter(a, a.end()));
b.clear();
c.clear();
