</p><p>From GCC 3.4 calling <code class="code">s.reserve(res)</code> on a
<code class="code">string s</code> with <code class="code">res &lt; s.capacity()</code> will
reduce the string's capacity to <code class="code">std::max(s.size(), res)</code>.
</p><p>This behaviour is suggested, but not required by the standard. Prior
to GCC 3.4 the following alternative can be used instead
</p><pre class="programlisting">
std::string(str.data(), str.size()).swap(str);
</pre><p>This is similar to the idiom for reducing
a <code class="code">vector</code>'s memory usage
(see <a class="link" href="../faq.html#faq.size_equals_capacity" title="Question">this FAQ
entry</a>) but the regular copy constructor cannot be used
because libstdc++'s <code class="code">string</code> is Copy-On-Write.
