Detailed Description

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
class rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >

The class template basic_string_view describes an non-owning reference to a constant contiguous sequence of char-like objects.

The purpose of this class is to avoid copying of data which is already owned somewhere else. Creating a basic_string_view will never do any heap allocation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename CharT , typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
constexpr rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >::basic_string_view ( )
noexcept

Default constructor.

Constructs an empty basic_string_view.

template<typename CharT , typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
constexpr rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >::basic_string_view ( const basic_string_view< CharT, Traits > &  other)
noexcept

Copy constructor.

Constructs a view of the same content as other.

template<typename CharT , typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
constexpr rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >::basic_string_view ( const CharT *  str)

Constructs a view of the null-terminated character string pointed to by str, not including the terminating null character.

The length of the view is determined as if by Traits::length(str). The behavior is undefined if [str, str + Traits::length(str)) is not a valid range (even though the constructor may not access any of the elements of this range).

template<typename CharT , typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
constexpr rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >::basic_string_view ( const CharT *  str,
size_type  len 
)

Constructs a view of the first count characters of the character array starting with the element pointed by str.

str can contain null characters. The behavior is undefined if [str, str + count) is not a valid range (even though the constructor may not access any of the elements of this range).

template<typename CharT , typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>
template<typename Allocator >
rttr::basic_string_view< CharT, Traits >::basic_string_view ( const std::basic_string< CharT, Traits, Allocator > &  str)
noexcept

Constructs a view of the first str.size() characters of the character array starting with the element pointed by str.data().
