1) Default constructor. Constructs an empty 
std::basic_string_view. After construction, data()  is equal to nullptr, and size()  is equal to 0.2) Copy constructor. Constructs a view of the same content as other. After construction, data()  is equal to other.data(), and size()  is equal to other.size().
3) Constructs a view of the first count characters of the character array starting with the element pointed by s. s can contain null characters. The behavior is undefined if 
[s, s + count) is not a valid range (even though the constructor may not access any of the elements of this range). After construction, data()  is equal to s, and size()  is equal to count.4) Constructs a view of the null-terminated character string pointed to by s, not including the terminating null character. The length of the view is determined as if by Traits::length(s). The behavior is undefined if 
[s, s + Traits::length(s)) is not a valid range. After construction, data()  is equal to s, and size()  is equal to Traits::length(s).5) Constructs a 
std::basic_string_view over the range [first, last). The behavior is undefined if [first, last) is not a valid range, if It does not actually model contiguous_iterator, or if End does not actually model sized_sentinel_for for It. After construction, data()  is equal to std::to_address (first), and size()  is equal to last - first.
This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:
-  Itsatisfiescontiguous_iterator,
-  Endsatisfiessized_sentinel_forforIt,
-  std::iter_value_t <It> and CharTare the same type, and
-  Endis not convertible to std::size_t .
 
-  
6) Constructs a 
std::basic_string_view over the range r. After construction, data()  is equal to ranges::data (r), and size()  is equal to ranges::size (r).
This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:
-  std::remove_cvref_t <R> is not the same type as std::basic_string_view,
-  Rmodelscontiguous_rangeandsized_range,
-  ranges::range_value_t <R> and CharTare the same type,
-  Ris not convertible to const CharT*, and
- Let d be an lvalue of type std::remove_cvref_t <R>, d.operator ::std::basic_string_view <CharT, Traits>() is not a valid expression.
 
-  std::remove_cvref_t <R> is not the same type as 
7) 
std::basic_string_view cannot be constructed from nullptr.Contents
[edit] Parameters
 other
 -
 another view to initialize the view with
 s
 -
 pointer to a character array or a C string to initialize the view with
 count
 -
 number of characters to include in the view
 first
 -
 iterator to the first character of the sequence
 last
 -
 iterator past the last character of the sequence or another sentinel
 r
 -
 a contiguous range that contains the sequence
[edit] Complexity
1-3,5,6) Constant.
4) Linear in length of s.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <array> #include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <string_view> int main() { std::string cppstr = "Foo"; std::string_view cppstr_v(cppstr); // overload (2), after // std::string::operator string_view std::cout << "1) cppstr_v: " << std::quoted (cppstr_v) << '\n'; char array[3] = {'B', 'a', 'r'}; std::string_view array_v(array, std::size (array)); // overload (3) std::cout << "2) array_v: " << std::quoted (array_v) << '\n'; const char* one_0_two = "One0円Two"; std::string_view one_two_v{one_0_two, 7}; // overload (3) std::cout << "3) one_two_v: \""; for (char c : one_two_v) std::cout << (c != '0円' ? c : '?'); std::cout << "\", one_two_v.size(): " << one_two_v.size() << '\n'; std::string_view one_v{one_0_two}; // overload (4) std::cout << "4) one_v: " << std::quoted (one_v) << ", one_v.size(): " << one_v.size() << '\n'; constexpr std::wstring_view wcstr_v = L"xyzzy"; // overload (4) std::cout << "5) wcstr_v.size(): " << wcstr_v.size() << '\n'; std::array ar = {'P', 'u', 'b'}; std::string_view ar_v(ar.begin(), ar.end()); // overload (5), C++20 std::cout << "6) ar_v: " << std::quoted (ar_v) << '\n'; // std::string_view ar_v2{ar}; // overload (6), OK in C++23 // std::cout << "ar_v2: " << std::quoted(ar_v2) << '\n'; // ar_v2: "Pub" [[maybe_unused]] auto zero = [] { /* ... */ return nullptr; }; // std::string_view s{zero()}; // overload (7), won't compile since C++23 }
Output:
1) cppstr_v: "Foo" 2) array_v: "Bar" 3) one_two_v: "One?Two", one_two_v.size(): 7 4) one_v: "One", one_v.size(): 3 5) wcstr_v.size(): 5 6) ar_v: "Pub"
