std::set_difference(3) C++ Standard Libary std::set_difference(3) NAME std::set_difference - std::set_difference Synopsis Defined in header <algorithm> template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class OutputIt > OutputIt set_difference( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, (1) (const- expr since C++20) InputIt2 first2, InputIt2 last2, OutputIt d_first ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class ForwardIt3 > ForwardIt3 set_difference( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 (2) (since C++17) last1, ForwardIt2 first2, ForwardIt2 last2, ForwardIt3 d_first ); template< class InputIt1, class InputIt2, class OutputIt, class Compare > OutputIt set_difference( InputIt1 first1, InputIt1 last1, (3) (const- expr since C++20) InputIt2 first2, InputIt2 last2, OutputIt d_first, Compare comp ); template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2, class ForwardIt3, class Compare > ForwardIt3 set_difference( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt1 first1, ForwardIt1 (4) (since C++17) last1, ForwardIt2 first2, ForwardIt2 last2, ForwardIt3 d_first, Compare comp ); Copies the elements from the sorted range [first1, last1) which are not found in the sorted range [first2, last2) to the range beginning at d_first. The output range is also sorted. If [first1, last1) contains m elements that are equivalent to each other and [first2, last2) contains n elements that are equivalent to them, the final std::max(m - n, 0) elements will be copied from [first1, last1) to the output range, preserving order. 1) If [first1, last1) or [first2, last2) is not sorted with respect to operator< (until C++20) std::less{} (since C++20), the behavior is undefined. 3) If [first1, last1) or [first2, last2) is not sorted with respect to comp, the behavior is undefined. 2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy. These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true. (until C++20) std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true. (since C++20) If the output range overlaps with [first1, last1) or [first2, last2), the behavior is undefined. Parameters first1, last1 - the range of elements to examine first2, last2 - the range of elements to search for d_first - the beginning of the output range policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details. comparison function object (i.e. an object that sat- isfies the requirements of Compare) which returns true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second. The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following: bool cmp(const Type1& a, const Type2& b); comp - 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 re- gardless of value category (thus, Type1& is not allowed , nor is Type1 unless for Type1 a move is equivalent to a copy (since C++11)). The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types InputIt1 and InputIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to both Type1 and Type2. Type requirements - InputIt1, InputIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyInputItera- tor. - OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator. - ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2, ForwardIt3 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator. - Compare must meet the requirements of Compare. Return value Iterator past the end of the constructed range. Complexity Given \(\scriptsize N_1\)N 1 as std::distance(first1, last1) and \(\scriptsize N_2\)N 2 as std::distance(first2, last2): 1,2) At most \(\scriptsize 2 \cdot (N_1+N_2)-1\)2(N 1+N 2)-1 comparisons using operator< (until C++20) std::less{} (since C++20). 3,4) At most \(\scriptsize 2 \cdot (N_1+N_2)-1\)2(N 1+N 2)-1 applications of the comparison function comp. 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.
