In C++11 is there a limit to a vector array size?

I tried to move my "solution" to make it a reply to your previous post. But it does not show "Reply" for that one, just for Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan.

My current answer is again say "Thank you Rick York."

68M is the number that I can set the .reserve(68272126) to before I put any items in the array.

Separately, if I do not size the array, but allow it to resize itself then I get the following times for putting items into a vector array:

// With a string = "1"                            
//  68,270,000 items in the array is about 3.671 seconds.                            
//  68,280,000 is about [Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error] seconds.

The VC++ error, I read somewhere, is due to a variable being not [something]. So, I have been approaching this in a variety of ways. And I certainly do not use nor intend to use Visual Studio C++. I do not even have it loaded, as a program, on my computer. I use CodeBlocks 17.12 and a GCC compiler that accompanied it.

But, in a different test I get

                            
// With a string of length 1,000,000                            
//     1,500 is about 4.703 seconds.                            
//     2,000 is about [Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error] seconds.

That, to me, looks like conflicting test results. So, I asked the question on this page "In C++11 is there a limit to a vector array size?" I do not know if that was the correct question to ask, but among the searches for logic to this, it is a question that I did not find answered.

Thank you for helping so far Rick York.

In answer to your question, "As I asked before, WHAT are you putting into the vector?" And some more in case you need that.

To create the vector array

    std::vector<std::string> v;

To set up a test of the creation time

    unsigned long   StartTime_StringCreation    = GetTickCount();

    unsigned long   StoppingTime_StringCreation;

    unsigned long   MilliSeconds_StringCreation;

    double          Seconds_StringCreation;

    std::string     Time_StringCreation;

to create the string. I varied this from 1 to 1,000,000.

// For a string of length 1,000,000 to test how long it takes to create the string

    for (int s1 = 0; s1 <= 9; s1++) // String length = 1,000,000

    {

        for (int kt = 0; kt <= 9; kt++) // String length = 100,000

        {

            for (int w1 = 0; w1 <= 9; w1++) // String length = 10,000

            {

                for (int np = 0; np <= 9; np++) // String length = 1,000

                {

                    StringBeingAdded = StringBeingAdded + "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890";

                }

            }

        }

    }

To complete a test of the creation time and have the result in a variable

    StoppingTime_StringCreation = GetTickCount();

    MilliSeconds_StringCreation = StoppingTime_StringCreation - StartTime_StringCreation;

    Seconds_StringCreation      = (MilliSeconds_StringCreation) / 1000.0;

    Time_StringCreation         = std::to_string(Seconds_StringCreation);

After the string is created
To place the string into the vector. I varied this from 1 to 1,000,000.

    for ( unsigned long i = 0; i <= 100; i++ )

    {

        v.emplace_back(StringBeingAdded);

        CountOfItems = CountOfItems +1;

    }

I varied the size of the string and tested the creation times.

I varied the count of the items placed into the vector array and tested the times that it took to do that.

I am finding questions that I would like someone far more experienced than me to explain.

I have read a lot here and elsewhere and I did not find sufficient answers.

Thank you Rick York for helping me.

Please, now if I have sufficiently detailed what I am doing please advise if there is more adevice for this to be given..

Thank you.
