std::experimental::basic_string_view: std::experimental::basic_string_view

NAME

std::experimental::basic_string_view - std::experimental::basic_string_view

Synopsis

Defined in header <experimental/string_view>
template<
class CharT, (library fundamentals TS)
class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>
> class basic_string_view;

The class template basic_string_view describes an object that can refer to a constant contiguous sequence of char-like objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero.
A typical implementation holds only two members: a pointer to constant CharT and a size.
Several typedefs for common character types are provided:

Defined in header <experimental/string_view>
Type Definition
std::experimental::string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char>
std::experimental::wstring_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<wchar_t>
std::experimental::u16string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char16_t>
std::experimental::u32string_view std::experimental::basic_string_view<char32_t>

Template parameters

CharT - character type
Traits - traits class specifying the operations on the character type

Member types

Member type Definition
traits_type Traits
value_type CharT
pointer CharT*
const_pointer const CharT*
reference CharT&
const_reference const CharT&
const_iterator implementation-defined LegacyRandomAccessIterator
iterator const_iterator
reverse_iterator const_reverse_iterator
const_reverse_iterator std::reverse_iterator<const_iterator>
size_type std::size_t
difference_type std::ptrdiff_t

Note: iterator and const_iterator are the same type because string views are views into constant character sequences.

Capacity

                      returns the number of characters
size (public member function)
length
                      returns the maximum number of characters
max_size (public member function)
