Duplication
Some non-member functions are at the higher-level page and some are here, is that ok? Should all be duplicated here? --Cubbi


 * I think we can move these functions here. P12 11:40, 12 September 2011 (PDT)

Errors
The member type pointer is defined as T, which does not seem to make sense, because T is nowhere defined. Should it be CharT* instead?
 * Yes, that is an error. Thanks. Fixing. --Cubbi 19:06, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

Missing
Is there a reason the destructor is not listed? Might be helpful to clearly say it is noexcept and has constant complexity.


 * It is likely missing because it's hard to find in the standard: as far as I can see, it's documented as part of container requirements (and string is documented to satisfy those requirements), and its complexity there is listed as "linear", since container requirements specify a call to allocator_traits::destroy for every element.. actual strings seem to only call deallocate once, though. I wonder if it's been discussed before. --Cubbi (talk) 13:27, 19 October 2016 (PDT)

Order of Methods
One point is that assign is in the 'Members' section, while append/insert are under 'Operations' What is the reason for that? Second point: Is it okay if I order the methods in 'Operations' alphabetically? I cannot see a logic in the current order. Gemini67 (talk) 06:12, 20 March 2017 (PDT)
 * you could go farther and regroup/reorder them the way the standard does: iterators, capacity, access, modifiers, operations. See basic.string --Cubbi (talk) 06:34, 20 March 2017 (PDT)

std::basic_string_view operations
It's hard to find operations that work with std::basic_string_view. May be it's a good idea to rename  parameter to <class StringView></tt>? It would be a good hint. --__vic (talk) 04:48, 7 May 2021 (PDT)
