Reallocation can occur when a member function modifies its container. Modifying member functions include {{reserve()}} and {{resize()}}, {{push_back()}}, {{pop_back()}}, {{erase()}}, {{clear()}}, {{insert()}}, and others. In addition, assignment operations and modifying algorithms can also cause reallocation. When a container reallocates its elements, their addresses change. Consequently, the values of existing iterators are invalidated \[[Kalev 99|AA. C++ References#Kalev 99]\]. Using invalid iterators yields undefined results.  (This problem is also discussed in [DAN33-C. Do not use invalid iterators].)
