[list.overview]

A list is a sequence container that supports bidirectional iterators and allows constant time insert and erase operations anywhere within the sequence, with storage management handled automatically.

Unlike vectors and deques, fast random access to list elements is not supported, but many algorithms only need sequential access anyway.

#

A list meets all of the requirements of a container ([container.reqmts]), of a reversible container ([container.rev.reqmts]), of an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), and of a sequence container, including most of the optional sequence container requirements ([sequence.reqmts]).

The exceptions are the operator[] and at member functions, which are not provided.208

Descriptions are provided here only for operations on list that are not described in one of these tables or for operations where there is additional semantic information.

An incomplete type T may be used when instantiating list if the allocator meets the allocator completeness requirements .

T shall be complete before any member of the resulting specialization of list is referenced.
