我使用std::queue实现JobQueue类。(基本上这个类以FIFO方式处理每个作业)。 在一个场景中，我希望一次性清除队列(从队列中删除所有作业)。 我在std::queue类中没有看到任何可用的清除方法。
如何有效地实现JobQueue类的清除方法?
我有一个简单的解决方案弹出在一个循环，但我正在寻找更好的方法。
//Clears the job queue
void JobQueue ::clearJobs()
{
// I want to avoid pop in a loop
while (!m_Queue.empty())
{
m_Queue.pop();
}
}

Author of the topic asked how to clear the queue "efficiently", so I assume he wants better complexity than linear O(queue size). Methods served by David Rodriguez, anon have the same complexity: according to STL reference, operator = has complexity O(queue size). IMHO it's because each element of queue is reserved separately and it isn't allocated in one big memory block, like in vector. So to clear all memory, we have to delete every element separately. So the straightest way to clear std::queue is one line:
while(!Q.empty()) Q.pop();

您可以创建一个继承自队列的类，并直接清除底层容器。这是非常有效的。
template<class T>
class queue_clearable : public std::queue<T>
{
public:
void clear()
{
c.clear();
}
};
也许你的a实现也允许你的Queue对象(这里是JobQueue)继承std:: Queue <Job>，而不是将Queue作为成员变量。这样就可以在成员函数中直接访问c.clear()。

假设你的m_Queue包含整数:
std::queue<int>().swap(m_Queue)
否则，如果它包含例如指向Job对象的指针，则:
std::queue<Job*>().swap(m_Queue)
这样你就用你的m_Queue交换了一个空队列，这样m_Queue就变成了空队列。
我这样做(使用c++ 14):
std::queue<int> myqueue;
myqueue = decltype(myqueue){};
如果您有一个不平凡的队列类型，并且不想为其构建别名/typedef，则这种方法非常有用。不过，我总是确保就这种用法留下评论，向不知情的/维护程序员解释这并不疯狂，并代替了实际的clear()方法。
清除标准容器的一个常用习语是交换容器的空版本:
void clear( std::queue<int> &q )
{
std::queue<int> empty;
std::swap( q, empty );
}
它也是清除某些容器内内存的唯一方法(std::vector)
