23.6.4 Class template priority_queue [priority.queue]

23.6.4.1 Overview [priqueue.overview]

Any sequence container with random access iterator and supporting operations front(), push_back() and pop_back() can be used to instantiate priority_queue.
In particular, vector and deque can be used.
Instantiating priority_queue also involves supplying a function or function object for making priority comparisons; the library assumes that the function or function object defines a strict weak ordering.

23.6.4.2 Constructors [priqueue.cons]

priority_queue(const Compare& x, const Container& y); priority_queue(const Compare& x, Container&& y);
Preconditions: x defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).
Effects: Initializes comp with x and c with y (copy constructing or move constructing as appropriate); calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).
template<class InputIterator> priority_queue(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& x = Compare());
Preconditions: x defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).
Effects: Initializes c with first as the first argument and last as the second argument, and initializes comp with x; then calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).
template<class InputIterator> priority_queue(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& x, const Container& y); template<class InputIterator> priority_queue(InputIterator first, InputIterator last, const Compare& x, Container&& y);
Preconditions: x defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).
Effects: Initializes comp with x and c with y (copy constructing or move constructing as appropriate); calls c.insert(c.end(), first, last); and finally calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).
template<container-compatible-range<T> R> priority_queue(from_range_t, R&& rg, const Compare& x = Compare());
Preconditions: x defines a strict weak ordering ([alg.sorting]).
Effects: Initializes comp with x and c with ranges​::​to<Container>(std​::​forward<R>(rg)) and finally calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).

If uses_allocator_v<container_type, Alloc> is false the constructors in this subclause shall not participate in overload resolution.

template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare& compare, const Alloc& a);
Effects: Initializes c with a and initializes comp with compare.
template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare& compare, const Container& cont, const Alloc& a);
Effects: Initializes c with cont as the first argument and a as the second argument, and initializes comp with compare; calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).
template<class Alloc> priority_queue(const Compare& compare, Container&& cont, const Alloc& a);
Effects: Initializes c with std​::​move(cont) as the first argument and a as the second argument, and initializes comp with compare; calls make_heap(c.begin(), c.end(), comp).
