  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:

otherwise, if T is a specialization of ranges::repeat_view: 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)

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.

[edit] Member functions

(constructor) constructs a drop_view (public member function) [edit]
base returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view (public member function) [edit]
begin returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function) [edit]
end returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function) [edit]
size returns the number of elements, provided only if the underlying (adapted) range satisfies sized_range (public member function) [edit]
reserve_hint(C++26) returns the approximate size of the resulting approximately_sized_range (public member function) [edit]
Inherited from std::ranges::view_interface
empty returns whether the derived view is empty, provided only if it satisfies sized_range or forward_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
cbegin(C++23) returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
cend(C++23) returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
operator bool returns whether the derived view is not empty, provided only if ranges::empty is applicable to it (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
data gets the address of derived view's data, provided only if its iterator type satisfies contiguous_iterator (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
front returns the first element in the derived view, provided if it satisfies forward_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
back returns the last element in the derived view, provided only if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]
operator[] returns the nth element in the derived view, provided only if it satisfies random_access_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface) [edit]

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

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { const auto nums = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};   std::cout << "drop " << 2 << ": "; for (int i : std::ranges::drop_view{nums, 2}) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n';   std::cout << "drop " << 3 << ": "; for (int i : nums | std::views::drop(3)) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n';   std::cout << "drop " << 4 << ": "; for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 8) | std::views::drop(4)) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n';   // Note that dropping more than the number of elements is OK: for (int dp : {5, 6, 7, 890, 100500}) { std::cout << "drop " << dp << ": "; for (int i : std::views::iota(1, 8) | std::views::drop(dp)) std::cout << i << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; } }

Output:

drop 2: 3 4 5 6 7 drop 3: 4 5 6 7 drop 4: 5 6 7 drop 5: 6 7 drop 6: 7 drop 7: drop 890: drop 100500:

[edit] 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 toconstruct a sized random access range the construction is adjustedso 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
