Synopsis

     (since C++17)

	    = default;
	constexpr basic_string_view( const CharT* s, size_type count  );     (3)
     (since C++17)
	constexpr  basic_string_view(  const CharT* s );		     (4)
     (since C++17)
	template< class It, class End  >				     (5)
     (since C++20)
	constexpr basic_string_view( It first, End last );
	template<  class  R > constexpr explicit basic_string_view( R&& r ); (6)
     (since C++23)
	constexpr basic_string_view( std::nullptr_t ) =  delete;	     (7)
     (since C++23)

	1)  Default constructor. Constructs an empty std::basic_string_view. Af-
     ter
	construction, data() is equal to nullptr, and size() is equal to 0.
	2) Copy constructor. Constructs a view of the same content as other. Af-
     ter
	construction, data() is equal to other.data(), and size()  is  equal  to
     other.size().
	3)  Constructs a view of the first count characters of the character ar-
     ray starting
	with the element pointed by s. s can contain null characters. The behav-
     ior is
	undefined if [s, s + count) is not a valid range (even though  the  con-
     structor may
	not  access  any  of  the  elements  of this range). After construction,
     data() is equal
	to s, and size() is equal to count.
	4) Constructs a view of the null-terminated character string pointed  to
     by s, not
	including  the terminating null character. The length of the view is de-
     termined as if
	by  Traits::length(s).	The  behavior  is   undefined	if   [s,   s   +
     Traits::length(s)) is not
	a  valid  range. After construction, data() is equal to s, and size() is
     equal to
	Traits::length(s).
	5) Constructs a std::basic_string_view over the range [first, last). The
     behavior is
	undefined if [first, last) is not a valid range, if It does not actually
     model
	contiguous_iterator, or  if  End  does	not  actually  model  sized_sen-
     tinel_for for It.
	After  construction,  data()  is  equal  to  std::to_address(first), and
     size() is equal
	to last - first.

	This overload participates in overload resolution only if

	  * It satisfies contiguous_iterator,
	  * End satisfies sized_sentinel_for for It,
	  * std::iter_value_t<It> and CharT are the same type, and
	  * End is not convertible to std::size_t.
	6) Constructs a std::basic_string_view over the range r. After construc-
     tion, data()
	is equal to ranges::data(r), and size() is equal to ranges::size(r).

	This overload participates in overload resolution only if

	  *  std::remove_cvref_t<R>  is  not   the   same   type   as	std::ba-
     sic_string_view,
	  * R models contiguous_range and sized_range,
	  * ranges::range_value_t<R> and CharT are the same type,
	  * R is not convertible to const CharT*, and
	  * Let d be an lvalue of type std::remove_cvref_t<R>, d.operator
	    ::std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>() is not a valid expression.
	7) std::basic_string_view cannot be constructed from nullptr.

Parameters
	other - another view to initialize the view with
	s      -  pointer  to  a character array or a C string to initialize the
     view with
	count - number of characters to include in the view
	first - iterator to the first character of the sequence
	last  - iterator past the last character of the sequence or another sen-
     tinel
	r     - a contiguous range that contains the sequence

Complexity
	1-3,5,6) Constant.
	4) Linear in length of s.

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <array>
      #include <iomanip>
      #include <iostream>
      #include <string>
      #include <string_view>

      int main()
      {
	  std::string cppstr = "Foo";
	  std::string_view cppstr_v(cppstr); // overload (2), after
					     // 	   std::string::operator
     string_view
	  std::cout << "1) cppstr_v: " << std::quoted(cppstr_v) << '\n';

	  char array[3] = {'B', 'a', 'r'};
	  std::string_view array_v(array, std::size(array)); // overload (3)
	  std::cout << "2) array_v: " << std::quoted(array_v) << '\n';

	  const char* one_0_two = "One\0Two";

	  std::string_view one_two_v{one_0_two, 7}; // overload (3)
	  std::cout << "3) one_two_v: \"";
	  for (char c : one_two_v)
	      std::cout << (c != '\0' ? c : '?');
	  std::cout << "\", one_two_v.size(): " << one_two_v.size() << '\n';

	  std::string_view one_v{one_0_two}; // overload (4)
	  std::cout << "4) one_v: " << std::quoted(one_v) << ", one_v.size(): "
		    << one_v.size() << '\n';

	  constexpr std::wstring_view wcstr_v = L"xyzzy"; // overload (4)
	  std::cout << "5) wcstr_v.size(): " << wcstr_v.size() << '\n';

	  std::array ar = {'P', 'u', 'b'};
	  std::string_view ar_v(ar.begin(), ar.end()); // overload (5), C++20
	  std::cout << "6) ar_v: " << std::quoted(ar_v) << '\n';

      //  std::string_view ar_v2{ar}; // overload (6), OK in C++23
      //  std::cout << "ar_v2: " << std::quoted(ar_v2) << '\n'; // ar_v2: "Pub"

	  [[maybe_unused]] auto zero = [] { /* ... */ return nullptr; };
      //  std::string_view s{zero()}; // overload (7), won't compile since C++23
      }

Output:
      1) cppstr_v: "Foo"
      2) array_v: "Bar"
      3) one_two_v: "One?Two", one_two_v.size(): 7
      4) one_v: "One", one_v.size(): 3
      5) wcstr_v.size(): 5
      6) ar_v: "Pub"
