(library fundamentals TS) | |
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:

[edit] Member functions
  constructs a  basic_string_view (public member function)  | 
|
|    assigns a view   (public member function)  | 
|
 Iterators | 
|
|    returns an iterator to the beginning   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns an iterator to the end   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns a reverse iterator to the beginning   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns a reverse iterator to the end   (public member function)  | 
|
 Element access | 
|
|    access specified character   (public member function)  | 
|
|    access specified character with bounds checking   (public member function)  | 
|
|    accesses the first character   (public member function)  | 
|
|    accesses the last character   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns a pointer to the first character of a view   (public member function)  | 
|
 Capacity | 
|
|    returns the number of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns the maximum number of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    checks whether the view is empty    (public member function)  | 
|
 Modifers | 
|
|    Shrinks the view by moving its start forward   (public member function)  | 
|
|    Shrinks the view by moving its end backward   (public member function)  | 
|
|    swaps the contents   (public member function)  | 
|
 Operations | 
|
|    creates a string from the view  (public member function)  | 
|
|    copies characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    returns a substring  (public member function)  | 
|
|    compares two views   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find characters in the view   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find the last occurrence of a substring   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find first occurrence of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find last occurrence of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find first absence of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
|    find last absence of characters   (public member function)  | 
|
 Constants | 
|
|    [static] 
 | 
   special value. The exact meaning depends on the context  (public static member constant)  | 
[edit] Non-member functions
|    lexicographically compares two views   (function template)  | 
|
 Input/output | 
|
|    performs stream output on views   (function template)  | 
|
[edit] Helper classes
|    hash support for views   (class template specialization)  | 
[edit] Feature test macros
|    __cpp_lib_experimental_string_view  | 
   a value of at least 201411 indicates that basic_string_view template is supported   (macro constant)  |
