Deduction guides

 

Defined in header <ranges>
template< ranges::view V > class drop_view : public ranges::view_interface<drop_view<V>>	(1)	(since C++20)
namespace views {     inline constexpr /*unspecified*/ drop = /*unspecified*/; }	(2)	(since C++20)
Call signature
template< ranges::viewable_range R, class DifferenceType >     requires /* see below */ constexpr ranges::view auto drop( R&& r, DifferenceType&& count );		(since C++20)
template< class DifferenceType > constexpr /*range adaptor closure*/ drop( DifferenceType&& count );		(since C++20)

1) A range adaptor consisting of elements of the underlying sequence, skipping the first N elements.

2) Range adaptor object. Given T is std::remove_cvref_t<decltype((e))> and D is ranges::range_difference_t<decltype((e))>), the expression views::drop(e, f) is expression-equivalent to:

• ((void)f, static_cast<T>(e)), if T is a ranges::empty_view, except that the evaluations of e and f are indeterminately sequenced;
• otherwise, T(ranges::begin(e) + inc, ranges::end(e), /*to-unsigned-like*/(ranges::distance(e) - inc)), if T is a specialization of ranges::subrange that models both random_access_range and sized_range, and T needs to store the size (see ranges::subrange::subrange for details), where inc is std::min<D>(ranges::distance(e), f);
• otherwise, U(ranges::begin(e) + std::min<D>(ranges::distance(e), f), ranges::end(e)), if T is a specialization of std::span, std::basic_string_view, ranges::iota_view, or ranges::subrange that models both random_access_range and sized_range, where U is

• std::span<typename T::element_type>, if T is a specialization of std::span;
• T otherwise;

• otherwise, drop_view(e, f).

In all cases, decltype((f)) must model std::convertible_to<D>.

drop_view models the concepts contiguous_range, random_access_range, bidirectional_range, forward_range, input_range, common_range, and sized_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

Expression-equivalent

Expression e is expression-equivalent to expression f, if

• e and f have the same effects, and
• either both are constant subexpressions or else neither is a constant subexpression, and
• either both are potentially-throwing or else neither is potentially-throwing (i.e. noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)).

Member functions

(constructor) (C++20)	constructs a drop_view (public member function)
base (C++20)	returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view (public member function)
begin (C++20)	returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end (C++20)	returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function)
size (C++20)	returns the number of elements. Provided only if the underlying (adapted) range satisfies sized_range. (public member function)
Inherited from std::ranges::view_interface
empty (C++20)	Returns whether the derived view is empty. Provided if it satisfies sized_range or forward_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator bool (C++20)	Returns whether the derived view is not empty. Provided if ranges::empty is applicable to it. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
data (C++20)	Gets the address of derived view's data. Provided if its iterator type satisfies contiguous_iterator. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
front (C++20)	Returns the first element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies forward_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
back (C++20)	Returns the last element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator[] (C++20)	Returns the nth element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies random_access_range. (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)

Helper templates

template<class T> inline constexpr bool enable_borrowed_range<std::ranges::drop_view<T>> =     std::ranges::enable_borrowed_range<T>;		(since C++20)

This specialization of std::ranges::enable_borrowed_range makes drop_view satisfy borrowed_range when the underlying view satisfies it.

Example

Run this code

#include <ranges>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    const auto nums = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
 
    for (int i : nums | std::views::drop(2))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 10) | std::views::drop(2))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    for (int i : std::ranges::drop_view{nums, 2})
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3494	C++20	drop_view was never a borrowed_range	it is a borrowed_range if its underlying view is
LWG 3407	C++20	views::drop sometimes fails to construct a sized random access range	the construction is adjusted so that it is always valid

a view consisting of the elements of another view, skipping the initial subsequence of elements until the first element where the predicate returns false (class template) (range adaptor object)
