// forward_list::pop_front
#include <iostream>
#include <forward_list>

int main ()
{
  std::forward_list<int> mylist = {10, 20, 30, 40};

  std::cout << "Popping out the elements in mylist:";
  while (!mylist.empty())
  {
    std::cout << ' ' << mylist.front();
    mylist.pop_front();
  }

  std::cout << '\n';

  return 0;
}
Output:
Popping out the elements in mylist: 10 20 30 40


Complexity

Constant.

Iterator validity

Iterators, pointers and references referring to element removed by the function are invalidated.
All other iterators, pointers and reference keep their validity.

Data races

The container is modified.
The first element is modified. Concurrently accessing or modifying other elements is safe.

Exception safety

If the container is not empty, the function never throws exceptions (no-throw guarantee).
Otherwise, it causes undefined behavior.
