(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:

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>

Contents

[edit] Template parameters

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

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