____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Constructors
ETL_CONSTEXPR basic_string_view()
Default constructor.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
ETL_CONSTEXPR basic_string_view(const T* begin, size_t size)
Construct from a start and size.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
ETL_CONSTEXPR basic_string_view(const T* begin)
Construct from a zero terminated string.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
ETL_CONSTEXPR basic_string_view(const basic_string_view& other)
Copy constructor.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Modifiers
void remove_prefix(size_t n)
Shrinks the view from the front.
Undefined behaviour if n is larger than the string.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
void remove_suffix(size_t n)
Shrinks the view from the back.
Undefined behaviour if n is larger than the string.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
void swap(etl::basic_string_view<T, TTraits> view)
Swaps with another view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Element access
const T& at(size_t i) const
Returns a const reference to the indexed element.
Emits an etl::string_view_uninitialised if the view is not initialised.
Emits an etl::string_view_bounds if the index is not in range.
If asserts or exceptions are not enabled then undefined behaviour occurs.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_reference operator[](size_t i) const
Returns a const reference to the indexed element.
Undefined behaviour if the string is empty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_reference front() const
Returns a const reference to the first element.
Undefined behaviour if the string is empty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_reference back() const
Returns a const reference to the last element.
Undefined behaviour if the string is empty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_pointer data() const
Returns a const pointer to the first element.
Undefined behaviour if the string is empty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Iterators
const_iterator begin() const
const_iterator cbegin() const
Returns an iterator to the beginning of the string view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_iterator end() const
const_iterator cend() const
Returns an iterator to the end of the string view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_iterator rbegin() const
const_iterator crbegin() const
Returns a reverse iterator to the beginning of the string view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
const_iterator rend() const
const_iterator crend() const
Returns a reverse iterator to the end of the string view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Operations
size_t copy(T* destination, size_t count, size_t position = 0) const
Copies the sub-string at position for count characters or size() - count, whichever smaller, to the string pointed to
by destination.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
basic_string_view substr(size_t position = 0, size_t count = npos) const
Returns a view which is the sub-string at position for count characters or size() - count, whichever smaller.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Capacity
bool empty() const
Returns true if the size of the string view is zero, otherwise false.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Returns the size of the view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
