[FIXED] How to append a temporary vector (defined at compile time) efficiently?

Issue

I have a std::vector<char> v that is created at runtime, and I would like to append {'a', 'k', 'e', 'e', 'f'} to it.

I could just do v.emplace_back on each individual letter, or I can create an l-value vector and store {'a', 'k', 'e', 'e', 'f'} and then use insert with iterators, but I don't like either of these approaches because the former requires additional lines (I have to do this in several parts of the code), and the letter requires creating an l-value vector (might be some efficiency issues)?

Is there a better way to do this? I'm essentially looking for a 1-2 liner, e.g., something like

v.emplace_back({'a', 'k', 'e', 'e', 'f'}); // doesn't work

I forgot to mention that v's capacity is reserved to accommodate this temporary vector -- this is probably not relevant, however?

Solution

vector::insert() has an overload that accepts a std::initializer_list as input, which can be constructed from a brace-list, eg:

v.insert(v.end(), {'a', 'k', 'e', 'e', 'f'});
