21.3.2.7 String operations [string.ops]

21.3.2.7.1 Accessors [string.accessors]

constexpr const charT* c_str() const noexcept; constexpr const charT* data() const noexcept;
Returns: A pointer p such that p + i == addressof(operator[](i)) for each i in [0, size()].
Complexity: Constant time.
Remarks: The program shall not modify any of the values stored in the character array; otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
constexpr charT* data() noexcept;
Returns: A pointer p such that p + i == addressof(operator[](i)) for each i in [0, size()].
Complexity: Constant time.
Remarks: The program shall not modify the value stored at p + size() to any value other than charT(); otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
constexpr operator basic_string_view<charT, traits>() const noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: return basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>(data(), size());
constexpr allocator_type get_allocator() const noexcept;
Returns: A copy of the Allocator object used to construct the string or, if that allocator has been replaced, a copy of the most recent replacement.

21.3.2.7.2 Searching [string.find]

Let F be one of find, rfind, find_­first_­of, find_­last_­of, find_­first_­not_­of, and find_­last_­not_­of.
  • Each member function of the form
    constexpr size_type F(const basic_string& str, size_type pos) const noexcept;
    
    has effects equivalent to: return F(basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>(str), pos);
  • Each member function of the form
    constexpr size_type F(const charT* s, size_type pos) const;
    
    has effects equivalent to: return F(basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>(s), pos);
  • Each member function of the form
    constexpr size_type F(const charT* s, size_type pos, size_type n) const;
    
    has effects equivalent to: return F(basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>(s, n), pos);
  • Each member function of the form
    constexpr size_type F(charT c, size_type pos) const noexcept;
    
    has effects equivalent to:
    return F(basic_string_view<charT, traits>(addressof(c), 1), pos);
    
template<class T> constexpr size_type find(const T& t, size_type pos = 0) const noexcept(see below); template<class T> constexpr size_type rfind(const T& t, size_type pos = npos) const noexcept(see below); template<class T> constexpr size_type find_first_of(const T& t, size_type pos = 0) const noexcept(see below); template<class T> constexpr size_type find_last_of(const T& t, size_type pos = npos) const noexcept(see below); template<class T> constexpr size_type find_first_not_of(const T& t, size_type pos = 0) const noexcept(see below); template<class T> constexpr size_type find_last_not_of(const T& t, size_type pos = npos) const noexcept(see below);
Constraints:
  • is_­convertible_­v<const T&, basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>> is true and
  • is_­convertible_­v<const T&, const charT*> is false.
Effects: Let G be the name of the function.
Equivalent to:
basic_string_view<charT, traits> s = *this, sv = t;

Remarks: The expression inside noexcept is equivalent to is_­nothrow_­convertible_­v<const T&, basic_­string_­view<charT, traits>>.

21.3.2.7.3 basic_­string​::​substr [string.substr]

constexpr basic_string substr(size_type pos = 0, size_type n = npos) const;
Throws: out_­of_­range if pos > size().
Effects: Determines the effective length rlen of the string to copy as the smaller of n and size() - pos.
Returns: basic_­string(data()+pos, rlen).
