For one, vector functions that grow the size typically return void. So you could just turn that into bool or an enum and you'd be done.

Maybe pop_back() could be made to return the popped element instead of void.

pop_back doesn't grow the size. It never needs to reallocate. As for why it doesn't return the element, because copying it may throw.
