Detailed Description

A standard container with linear time access to elements, and fixed time insertion/deletion at any point in the sequence.

Meets the requirements of a container, a sequence, including the optional sequence requirements with the exception of at and operator[].

This is a singly linked list. Traversal up the list requires linear time, but adding and removing elements (or nodes) is done in constant time, regardless of where the change takes place. Unlike std::vector and std::deque, random-access iterators are not provided, so subscripting ( [] ) access is not allowed. For algorithms which only need sequential access, this lack makes no difference.

Also unlike the other standard containers, std::forward_list provides specialized algorithms unique to linked lists, such as splicing, sorting, and in-place reversal.

A couple points on memory allocation for forward_list<Tp>:

First, we never actually allocate a Tp, we allocate Fwd_list_node<Tp>'s and trust [20.1.5]/4 to DTRT. This is to ensure that after elements from forward_list<X,Alloc1> are spliced into forward_list<X,Alloc2>, destroying the memory of the second list is a valid operation, i.e., Alloc1 giveth and Alloc2 taketh away.
