Parameters
| first, last | - | the pair of iterators defining the target range |
| p | - | unary predicate which returns true for the elements before the partition point. The expression |
| policy | - | the execution policy to use |
| Type requirements | ||
-BidirIt must meet the requirements of LegacyBidirectionalIterator.
| ||
-UnaryPred must meet the requirements of Predicate.
|
Return value
The iterator iter indicating the partition point: all elements before iter satisfy p, while all elements starting from iter do not.
Complexity
Given N as std::distance(first, last):
p.p.Exceptions
- If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
- If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for standard policies, std::terminate is invoked).
Notes
This function attempts to allocate a temporary buffer. If the allocation fails, the less efficient algorithm is chosen.
Implementations in libc++ and libstdc++ also accept ranges denoted by LegacyForwardIterators as an extension.

Example
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<int> v{0, 0, 3, -1, 2, 4, 5, 0, 7};
std::stable_partition(v.begin(), v.end(), [](int n) { return n > 0; });
for (int n : v)
std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << '\n';
}
Output:
3 2 4 5 7 0 0 -1 0

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| LWG 2150 | C++98 | std::stable_partition was only required to place oneelement satisfying p before one element not satisfying p
