template< class Pattern > constexpr /*range adaptor closure*/ lazy_split( Pattern&& pattern );		(since C++20)
Helper concepts
template< class R > concept /*tiny_range*/ =      // exposition only   ranges::sized_range<R> &&     requires /*is-statically-constexpr-sized*/<R> &&       (std::remove_reference_t<R>::size() <= 1);	(3)	(since C++20)

1) lazy_split_view takes a view and a delimiter, and splits the view into subranges on the delimiter.

Two major scenarios are supported:

• The view is an input_range, the delimiter is a single element (wrapped in a single_view).
• The view is a forward_range, the delimiter is a view of elements.

2) A range adaptor object. The expression views::lazy_split(e, f) is expression-equivalent to lazy_split_view(e, f).

3) The exposition-only concept /*tiny_range*/<Pattern> is satisfied if Pattern satisfies sized_range, Pattern::size() is a constant expression and suitable as a template non-type argument, and the value of Pattern::size() is less than or equal to 1. Notably, empty_view and single_view satisfy this concept.

lazy_split_view models the concepts forward_range and input_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts, and models common_range when V models both forward_range and common_range.

The inner range (ranges::range_reference_t<lazy_split_view>) models the concepts forward_range and input_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts. It does not model common_range, and cannot be used with algorithms that expect a bidirectional_range or higher.

Data members

Typical implementations of lazy_split_view hold two or three non-static data members:

• the underlying view of type V (shown here as base_ for exposition only),
• the pattern (shown here as pattern_ for exposition only) that is used as a delimiter to split the underlying view, and
• the caching object (shown here as current_ for exposition only) of the std::optional-like exposition-only type /*non_propagating_cache*/<ranges::iterator_t<V>>. The current_ caches the result of calls to begin(). Present only if V does not satisfy forward_range.

Member functions

(constructor) (C++20)	constructs a lazy_split_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)
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>)
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>)

Nested classes

outer_iterator (C++20)	the iterator type (exposition-only member class template)
inner_iterator (C++20)	the iterator type of the inner range (exposition-only member class template)

Notes

lazy_split_view is introduced by the post-C++20 defect report P2210R2. It has the same lazy mechanism as that of the old split_view before change.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string_view>
 
// P2210R2: a temporary patch until online g++ >= 12
#define lazy_split_view split_view
#define lazy_split split
 
auto print = [](auto const& view)
{
    // `view` is a std::views::lazy_split_view::/*outer_iterator*/::value_type
 
    for (std::cout << "{ "; const auto element : view)
        std::cout << element << ' ';
    std::cout << "} ";
};
 
int main()
{
    constexpr static auto source = { 0, 1,0, 2,3,0, 4,5,6,0, 7,8,9 };
    constexpr int delimiter {0};
    constexpr std::ranges::lazy_split_view outer_view{source, delimiter};
    std::cout << "splits[" << std::ranges::distance(outer_view) << "]:  ";
    for (auto const& inner_view: outer_view)
        print(inner_view);
 
    constexpr std::string_view hello { "Hello C++ 20 !" };
    std::cout << "\n" "substrings: ";
    std::ranges::for_each(hello | std::views::lazy_split(' '), print);
 
    constexpr std::string_view text { "Hello-+-C++-+-20-+-!" };
    constexpr std::string_view delim { "-+-" };
    std::cout << "\n" "substrings: ";
    std::ranges::for_each(text | std::views::lazy_split(delim), print);
}

Output:

splits[5]:  { } { 1 } { 2 3 } { 4 5 6 } { 7 8 9 }
substrings: { H e l l o } { C + + } { 2 0 } { ! }
substrings: { H e l l o } { C + + } { 2 0 } { ! }

Defect reports

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

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
P2210R2	C++20	the old split_view was too lazy to be easily used	moves its functionality to lazy_split_view
