Deduction guides

 

constexpr /*iterator*/ begin();		(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first found subrange.

In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the split_view for use on subsequent calls. Equivalent to:

constexpr /*iterator*/ begin()
{
    if (!cached_begin_.has_value())
        cached_begin_ = this->find_next(ranges::begin(base_));
    return {*this, ranges::begin(base_), cached_begin_.value()};
}

Exposition only data members base_ and cached_begin_ are described here.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

An iterator.

Complexity

Amortized \(\scriptsize \mathcal{O}(1)\)O(1).

Example

Run this code

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string_view>
 
int main()
{
    constexpr std::string_view sentence{"Keep..moving..forward.."};
    constexpr std::string_view delim{".."};
    std::ranges::split_view words{sentence, delim};
 
    std::cout << "begin(): " << std::quoted(std::string_view{*words.begin()})
              << "\nSubstrings: ";
    for (auto word : words)
        std::cout << std::quoted(std::string_view(word)) << ' ';
 
    std::ranges::split_view letters{sentence, std::string_view{""}};
    std::cout << "\nbegin(): " << std::quoted(std::string_view{*letters.begin()})
              << "\nLetters: ";
    for (auto letter : letters)
        std::cout << std::string_view(letter) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

begin(): "Keep"
Substrings: "Keep" "moving" "forward" ""
begin(): "K"
Letters: K e e p . . m o v i n g . . f o r w a r d . .
