Description

The priority_queue class is a wrapper for the stl heap functions.
The template parameter T is the type to be managed by the container. The user can specify additional options and if no options are provided default options are used.

The container supports the following options:

boost::heap::compare<>, defaults to compare<std::less<T> >
boost::heap::stable<>, defaults to stable<false>
boost::heap::stability_counter_type<>, defaults to stability_counter_type<boost::uintmax_t>
boost::heap::allocator<>, defaults to allocator<std::allocator<T> >

`priority_queue` public types

typedef implementation_defined::iterator iterator;

Note: The iterator does not traverse the priority queue in order of the priorities.

`priority_queue` public construct/copy/destruct

explicit priority_queue(value_compare const & cmp = value_compare());

Effects: constructs an empty priority queue.

Complexity: Constant.

```
priority_queue(priority_queue const & rhs);
```
Effects: copy-constructs priority queue from rhs.

Complexity: Linear.
```
priority_queue(priority_queue && rhs);
```
Effects: C++11-style move constructor.

Complexity: Constant.

Note: Only available, if BOOST_HAS_RVALUE_REFS is defined
```
priority_queue& operator=(priority_queue && rhs);
```
Effects: C++11-style move assignment.

Complexity: Constant.

Note: Only available, if BOOST_HAS_RVALUE_REFS is defined

priority_queue& operator=(priority_queue const & rhs);

Effects: Assigns priority queue from rhs.

Complexity: Linear.

`priority_queue` public member functions

```
bool empty(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns true, if the priority queue contains no elements.

Complexity: Constant.
```
size_type size(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns the number of elements contained in the priority queue.

Complexity: Constant.
```
size_type max_size(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns the maximum number of elements the priority queue can contain.

Complexity: Constant.
```
void clear(void);
```
Effects: Removes all elements from the priority queue.

Complexity: Linear.
```
allocator_type get_allocator(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns allocator.

Complexity: Constant.
```
const_reference top(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns a const_reference to the maximum element.

Complexity: Constant.
```
void push(value_type const & v);
```
Effects: Adds a new element to the priority queue.

Complexity: Logarithmic (amortized). Linear (worst case).
```
template<class... Args> void emplace(Args &&... args);
```
Effects: Adds a new element to the priority queue. The element is directly constructed in-place.

Complexity: Logarithmic (amortized). Linear (worst case).
```
void pop(void);
```
Effects: Removes the top element from the priority queue.

Complexity: Logarithmic (amortized). Linear (worst case).
```
void swap(priority_queue & rhs);
```
Effects: Swaps two priority queues.

Complexity: Constant.
```
iterator begin(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns an iterator to the first element contained in the priority queue.

Complexity: Constant.
```
iterator end(void) const;
```
Effects: Returns an iterator to the end of the priority queue.

Complexity: Constant.
```
void reserve(size_type element_count);
```
Effects: Reserves memory for element_count elements

Complexity: Linear.

Node: Invalidates iterators
```
value_compare const & value_comp(void) const;
```
Effect: Returns the value_compare object used by the priority queue
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator<(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Returns: Element-wise comparison of heap data structures

Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator>(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Returns: Element-wise comparison of heap data structures

Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator>=(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Returns: Element-wise comparison of heap data structures

Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator<=(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Returns: Element-wise comparison of heap data structures

Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator==(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Equivalent comparison Returns: True, if both heap data structures are equivalent.
Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
```
template<typename HeapType> bool operator!=(HeapType const & rhs) const;
```
Equivalent comparison Returns: True, if both heap data structures are not equivalent.
Requirement: the value_compare object of both heaps must match.
