std::search(3) C++ Standard Libary std::search(3) NAME std::search - std::search Synopsis Defined in header <algorithm> template< class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 > ForwardIt1 search( ForwardIt1 first, (until C++20) ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last ); template< class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 > constexpr ForwardIt1 search( ForwardIt1 (since C++20) first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 > ForwardIt1 search( ExecutionPolicy&& (2) (since C++17) policy, ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last ); template< class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class BinaryPredicate > ForwardIt1 search( ForwardIt1 first, (un- til C++20) ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last, BinaryPredicate p ); template< class ForwardIt1, class (1) ForwardIt2, class BinaryPredicate > constexpr ForwardIt1 search( ForwardIt1 (since C++20) first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last, BinaryPredicate p ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class BinaryPredicate > (3) ForwardIt1 search( ExecutionPolicy&& (4) (since C++17) policy, ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 s_first, ForwardIt2 s_last, BinaryPredicate p ); template< class ForwardIt, class Searcher > (since C++17) ForwardIt search( ForwardIt first, (until ForwardIt last, C++20) const Searcher& searcher ); (5) template< class ForwardIt, class Searcher > (since constexpr ForwardIt search( ForwardIt C++20) first, ForwardIt last, const Searcher& searcher ); 1-4) Searches for the first occurrence of the sequence of elements [s_first, s_last) in the range [first, last). 1) Elements are compared using operator==. 3) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p. 2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy. These over- loads do not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> (until C++20) std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>> (since C++20) is true. 5) Searches the sequence [first, last) for the pattern specified in the constructor of searcher. Effectively executes return searcher(first, last).first;. Searcher need not be CopyConstructible. The standard library provides the following searchers: default_searcher standard C++ library search algorithm (C++17) implementation (class template) boyer_moore_searcher Boyer-Moore search algorithm (since C++17) (C++17) implementation (class template) boyer_moore_horspool_searcher Boyer-Moore-Horspool search algorithm (C++17) implementation (class template) Parameters first, last - the range of elements to examine s_first, s_last - the range of elements to search for policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details. searcher - the searcher encapsulating the search algorithm and the pattern to look for binary predicate which returns true if the ele- ments should be treated as equal. The signature of the predicate function should be equivalent to the following: bool pred(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b); p - While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const) Type1 and Type2 regardless of value category (thus, Type1 & is not allowed , nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equiva- lent to a copy (since C++11)). The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that ob- jects of types ForwardIt1 and ForwardIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively. Type requirements - ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyFor- wardIterator. - Searcher must meet the requirements of Searcher. Return value 1-4) Iterator to the beginning of first occurrence of the sequence [s_first, s_last) in the range [first, last). If no such occurrence is found, last is returned. If [s_first, s_last) is empty, first is returned. (since C++11) 5) Returns the result of searcher.operator(), that is, an iterator to the location at which the substring is found or a copy of last if it was not found. Complexity 1-4) At most S*N comparisons where S = std::distance(s_first, s_last) and N = std::distance(first, last). 5) Depends on the searcher Exceptions The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy report errors as follows: * If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::termi- nate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation- defined. * If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
