#
split_view takes a view and a delimiter, and splits the view into subranges on the delimiter.
The delimiter can be a single element or a view of elements.
2
#
The name views​::​split denotes a range adaptor object ([range.adaptor.object]).
Given subexpressions E and F, the expression views​::​split(E, F) is expression-equivalent to split_view(E, F).
[Example 1: string str{"the quick brown fox"}; for (auto word : views::split(str, ' ') { cout << string_view(word) << '*'; } / The above prints the*quick*brown*fox* — end example]

25.7.17.2 Class template split_view [range.split.view]

namespace std::ranges { template<forward_range V, forward_range Pattern> requires view<V> && view<Pattern> && indirectly_comparable<iterator_t<V>, iterator_t<Pattern>, ranges::equal_to> class split_view : public view_interface<split_view<V, Pattern>> { private: V base_ = V(); / exposition only Pattern pattern_ = Pattern(); / exposition only / [range.split.iterator], class split_view​::​iterator struct iterator; / exposition only / [range.split.sentinel], class split_view​::​sentinel struct sentinel; / exposition only public: split_view() requires default_initializable<V> && default_initializable<Pattern> = default; constexpr explicit split_view(V base, Pattern pattern); template<forward_range R> requires constructible_from<V, views::all_t<R>> && constructible_from<Pattern, single_view<range_value_t<R>> constexpr explicit split_view(R&& r, range_value_t<R> e); constexpr V base() const & requires copy_constructible<V> { return base_; } constexpr V base() && { return std::move(base_); } constexpr iterator begin(); constexpr auto end() { if constexpr (common_range<V>) { return iterator{*this, ranges::end(base_), {}; } else { return sentinel{*this}; } } constexpr subrange<iterator_t<V>> find-next(iterator_t<V>); / exposition only }; template<class R, class P> split_view(R&&, P&&) -> split_view<views::all_t<R>, views::all_t<P>>; template<forward_range R> split_view(R&&, range_value_t<R>) -> split_view<views::all_t<R>, single_view<range_value_t<R>>; }
constexpr explicit split_view(V base, Pattern pattern);
Effects: Initializes base_ with std​::​move(base), and pattern_ with std​::​move(pattern).
template<forward_range R> requires constructible_from<V, views::all_t<R>> && constructible_from<Pattern, single_view<range_value_t<R>> constexpr explicit split_view(R&& r, range_value_t<R> e);
Effects: Initializes base_ with views​::​all(std​::​forward<R>(r)), and pattern_ with views​::​single(std​::​move(e)).
constexpr iterator begin();
Remarks: In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the split_view for use on subsequent calls.
constexpr subrange<iterator_t<V>> find-next(iterator_t<V> it);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto [b, e] = ranges::search(subrange(it, ranges::end(base_)), pattern_); if (b != ranges::end(base_) && ranges::empty(pattern_)) { ++b; ++e; } return {b, e};

25.7.17.3 Class split_view​::​iterator [range.split.iterator]

constexpr iterator(split_view& parent, iterator_t<V> current, subrange<iterator_t<V>> next);
Effects: Initializes parent_ with addressof(parent), cur_ with std​::​move(current), and next_ with std​::​move(next).
constexpr iterator_t<V> base() const;
Effects: Equivalent to: return cur_;
constexpr value_type operator*() const;
Effects: Equivalent to: return {cur_, next_.begin()};
constexpr iterator& operator+();
Effects: Equivalent to: cur_ = next_.begin(); if (cur_ != ranges::end(parent_->base_)) { cur_ = next_.end(); if (cur_ == ranges::end(parent_->base_)) { trailing_empty_ = true; next_ = {cur_, cur_}; } else { next_ = parent_->find-next(cur_); } } else { trailing_empty_ = false; } return *this;
constexpr iterator operator+(int);
Effects: Equivalent to: auto tmp = *this; ++*this; return tmp;
friend constexpr bool operator=(const iterator& x, const iterator& y);
Effects: Equivalent to: return x.cur_ == y.cur_ && x.trailing_empty_ == y.trailing_empty_;

25.7.17.4 Class split_view​::​sentinel [range.split.sentinel]

namespace std::ranges { template<forward_range V, forward_range Pattern> requires view<V> && view<Pattern> && indirectly_comparable<iterator_t<V>, iterator_t<Pattern>, ranges::equal_to> struct split_view<V, Pattern>::sentinel { private: sentinel_t<V> end_ = sentinel_t<V>(); / exposition only public: sentinel() = default; constexpr explicit sentinel(split_view& parent); friend constexpr bool operator=(const iterator& x, const sentinel& y); }; }
constexpr explicit sentinel(split_view& parent);
Effects: Initializes end_ with ranges​::​end(parent.base_).
friend constexpr bool operator=(const iterator& x, const sentinel& y);
Effects: Equivalent to: return x.cur_ == y.end_ && !x.trailing_empty_;
