operator<<(std::basic_string_view)

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
 
Defined in header <string_view>
template< class CharT, class Traits >

std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>&
    operator<<( std::basic_ostream<CharT, Traits>& os,

                std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> v );
(since C++17)

Behaves as a FormattedOutputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, determines the output format padding.

Then stores each character from the resulting sequence seq (the contents of v with padding) to the output stream os as if by calling os.rdbuf()->sputn(seq, n), where n is std::max(os.width(), str.size()).

Finally, calls os.width(0) to cancel the effects of std::setw, if any.

[edit] Exceptions

May throw std::ios_base::failure if an exception is thrown during output.

[edit] Parameters

os - a character output stream
v - the view to be inserted

[edit] Return value

os

[edit] Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr std::string_view s{"abc"};
    constexpr int width{5};
 
    // fill/left/right properties are kept until changed
    std::cout << std::setfill('-');
    std::cout << std::left;
 
    std::cout << '[' << std::setw(width) << s << "]\n";
    std::cout << '[' << std::setw(width) << s << "]\n";
 
    std::cout << std::right;
    std::cout << '[' << std::setw(width) << s << "]\n";
 
    // width is reset after each call
    std::cout << '[' << s << "]\n";
}

Output:

[abc--]
[abc--]
[--abc]
[abc]
