27 Strings library [strings]

27.4 String classes [string.classes]

27.4.3 Class template basic_string [basic.string]

27.4.3.1 General [basic.string.general]

1
#
The class template basic_string describes objects that can store a sequence consisting of a varying number of arbitrary char-like objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero.
Such a sequence is also called a “string” if the type of the char-like objects that it holds is clear from context.
In the rest of [basic.string], the type of the char-like objects held in a basic_string object is designated by charT.
2
#
A specialization of basic_string is a contiguous container ([container.reqmts]).
3
#
In all cases, [data(), data() + size()] is a valid range, data() + size() points at an object with value charT() (a “null terminator”), and size() <= capacity() is true.
