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

2) RangeAdaptorObject. The expression views::split(e, p) is expression-equivalent to split_view(e, p) for any suitable subexpressions e and p.

split_view models the concepts forward_range, and common_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

The inner range (ranges::range_reference_t<split_view>) is a ranges::subrange<ranges::iterator_t<V>>, which models common_range, models sized_range when ranges::iterator_t<V> models std::sized_sentinel_for<ranges::iterator_t<V>>, and models contiguous_range, random_access_range, bidirectional_range, and forward_range when V models respective concepts.

Unlike lazy_split_view, split_view maintains the continuity of the subrange, making it suitable for string splitting.

Data members

Member	Description
V base_ (private)	the underlying (adapted) view (exposition-only member object*)
Pattern pattern_ (private)	the pattern object that is used as a delimiter to split the underlying view (exposition-only member object*)
non-propagating-cache<ranges::subrange     <ranges::iterator_t<V>>> cached_begin_ (private)	an object that caches the result of the first call to begin() (exposition-only member object*)

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a split_view (public member function)
base	returns a copy of the underlying (adapted) view (public member function)
begin	returns an iterator to the beginning (public member function)
end	returns an iterator or a sentinel to the end (public member function)
find_next	searches for the next occurrence of the pattern (exposition-only member function*)
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<D>)
cbegin (C++23)	returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
cend (C++23)	returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
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<D>)
front	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

iterator	the iterator type (exposition-only member class*)
sentinel	the sentinel type (exposition-only member class*)

Notes

Before P2210R2, and the lazy mechanism is moved to lazy_split_view.

The delimiter pattern generally should not be an ordinary string literal, as it will consider the null terminator to be necessary part of the delimiter; therefore, it is advisable to use a std::string_view literal instead.

Example

Run this code

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <string_view>
 
int main()
{
    using std::operator""sv;
    constexpr auto words{"Hello^_^C++^_^20^_^!"sv};
    constexpr auto delim{"^_^"sv};
 
    for (const auto word : std::views::split(words, delim))
        / with string_view's C++23 range constructor:
        std::cout << std::quoted(std::string_view(word)) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

"Hello" "C++" "20" "!"

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	it is redesigned
