Searches for the last occurrence of the sequence [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 overloads do not participate in overload resolution unless

`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)

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.
p	-	binary predicate which returns `true` if the elements 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);` 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 equivalent to a copy (since C++11)). The types Type1 and Type2 must be such that objects of types ForwardIt1 and ForwardIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to Type1 and Type2 respectively.
Type requirements
-`ForwardIt1` must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
-`ForwardIt2` must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.

Return value

Iterator to the beginning of last occurrence of the sequence [s_first, s_last) in range [first, last).

If no such sequence is found, `last` is returned.	(until C++11)
If `[s_first,` `s_last)` is empty or if no such sequence is found, `last` is returned.	(since C++11)

Complexity

Does at most \(\scriptsize S\cdot(N-S+1)\)S·(N-S+1) comparisons where \(\scriptsize S\)S is std::distance(first2, last2) and \(\scriptsize N\)N is std::distance(first1, last1).

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::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
