    reserve(), vector allocation

    When I pass reserve() a value high enough that may mean the need for reallocation, is the vector reallocated immediately or only at next push_back()?

    Memory should be reallocated immediately.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
