void reserve( size_type new_cap );

Increase the capacity of the string to a value that's greater or equal to new_cap. If new_cap is greater than the current capacity(), new storage is allocated, otherwise the method does nothing.

If new_cap is greater than capacity(), all iterators and references, including the past-the-end iterator, are invalidated. Otherwise, no iterators or references are invalidated.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Complexity

At most linear in the size() of the string

[edit] Notes

reserve() cannot be used to reduce the capacity of the container, to that end shrink_to_fit() is provided.
