C++11容器中新增加的emplace相关函数的使用

C++11中，针对顺序容器(如vector、deque、list)，新标准引入了三个新成员：emplace_front、emplace和emplace_back，这些操作构造而不是拷贝元素。这些操作分别对应push_front、insert和push_back，允许我们将元素放置在容器头部、一个指定位置之前或容器尾部。

当调用push或insert成员函数时，我们将元素类型的对象传递给它们，这些对象被拷贝到容器中。而当我们调用一个emplace成员函数时，则是将参数传递给元素类型的构造函数。emplace成员使用这些参数在容器管理的内存空间中直接构造元素。

emplace函数的参数根据元素类型而变化，参数必须与元素类型的构造函数相匹配。emplace函数在容器中直接构造元素。传递给emplace函数的参数必须与元素类型的构造函数相匹配。

其它容器中，std::forward_list中的emplace_after、emplace_front函数，std::map/std::multimap中的emplace、emplace_hint函数，std::set/std::multiset中的emplace、emplace_hint，std::stack中的emplace函数，等emplace相似函数操作也均是构造而不是拷贝元素。

emplace相关函数可以减少内存拷贝和移动。当插入rvalue，它节约了一次move构造，当插入lvalue，它节约了一次copy构造。
