:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Set the maximum load factor permitted by this hash table to the specified `newMaxLoadFactor`, where load factor is the statistical mean number of elements per bucket. If 'newMaxLoadFactor < loadFactor', allocate at least enough buckets to re‐establish the invariant `loadFactor <= maxLoadFactor`. If this function tries to allocate a number of buckets larger than can be represented by this hash table's `SizeType`, a `std::length_error` exception is thrown. The behavior is undefined unless `0 < maxLoadFactor`.
