std::unordered_multimap max_size() method

// Const version only
size_type max_size() const noexcept;

Returns the maximum number of elements the container is able to hold due to system or library implementation limitations, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end()) for the largest container.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

Maximum number of elements.

Complexity

Constant - O(1).

Exceptions

(none)

Notes

This value typically reflects the theoretical limit on the size of the container, at most std::numeric_limits<difference_type>::max(). At runtime, the size of the container may be limited to a value smaller than max_size() by the amount of RAM available.

Example

Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <unordered_map>

int main()
{
std::unordered_multimap<char, char> q;
std::cout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF-8"));
std::cout << "Maximum size of a std::unordered_multimap is " << q.max_size() << '\n';
}
Possible output
Maximum size of a std::unordered_multimap is 768,614,336,404,564,650
