如何在c ++ stl中实现双端队列

Question

我只是想知道如何实现双端队列，以及在该实现中如何提供诸如push_front和random access operator之类的基本操作。

I just wanted to know how deque is implemented

It's always a good to have an excuse for doing ASCII art:

+-------------------------------------------------------------+                       

how are the basic operations like push_front and random access operator are provided in that implementation?

First, std::deque::push_front , from libcxx:

template <class _Tp, class _Allocator>
void
deque<_Tp, _Allocator>::push_front(const value_type& __v)
{
    allocator_type& __a = __base::__alloc();
    if (__front_spare() == 0)
        __add_front_capacity();
    __alloc_traits::construct(__a, _VSTD::addressof(*--__base::begin()), __v);
    --__base::__start_;
    ++__base::size();
}

This obviously checks whether the memory already allocated at the front can hold an additional element. If not, it allocates. Then, the main work is shifted to the iterator: _VSTD::addressof(*--__base::begin()) goes one location before the current front element of the container, and this address is passed to the allocator to construct a new element in place by copying v (the default allocator will definitely do a placement- new ).

Now random access. Again from libcxx, std::deque::operator[] (the non- const version) is

template <class _Tp, class _Allocator>
inline
typename deque<_Tp, _Allocator>::reference
deque<_Tp, _Allocator>::operator[](size_type __i) _NOEXCEPT
{
    size_type __p = __base::__start_ + __i;
    return *(*(__base::__map_.begin() + __p / __base::__block_size) + __p % __base::__block_size);
}

This pretty much computes an index relative to some start index, and then determines the subarray and the index relative to the start of the subarray. __base::__block_size should be the size of one subarray here.
