std::ranges::drop_view
 
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 >

    requires /* see below */
constexpr ranges::view auto

    drop( R&& r, ranges::range_difference_t<R> 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) RangeAdaptorObject. 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:
  • std::span<typename T::element_type>, if T is a specialization of std::span;
  • T otherwise;
  • views::repeat(*e.value_, ranges::distance(e) - inc), if T models sized_range; in such case e is evaluated only once;
  • ((void)e, auto(f)) otherwise, except that the evaluations of e and f are indeterminately sequenced;
(since C++23)
  • 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.

Member functions

constructs a drop_view
(public member function)
(C++20)
returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view
(public member function)
(C++20)
returns an iterator to the beginning
(public member function)
(C++20)
returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end
(public member function)
(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
(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>)
(C++23)
returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
(C++23)
returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
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>)
(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>)
(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>)
(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>)
returns the nth element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies random_access_range.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)

Deduction guides

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

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

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