and returns a subrange [
ret
,
last

, where ret
is a past-the-end iterator for the new end of the range.*(i - 1)
and *i
are considered equivalent if std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj, *(i - 1)), std::invoke(proj, *i)) == true

.r
as the range, as if using ranges::begin(r)
as first
, and ranges::end(r)
as last
.The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:
In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.
first, last | - | the range of elements to process |
r | - | the range of elements to process |
comp | - | the binary predicate to compare the projected elements |
proj | - | the projection to apply to the elements |
Returns {ret, last}
, where ret
is a past-the-end iterator for the new end of the range.
For nonempty ranges, exactly ranges::distance(first, last) - 1
applications of the corresponding predicate comp
and no more that twice as many applications of any projection proj
.
Removing is done by shifting (by means of move assignment) the elements in the range in such a way that the elements that are not to be removed appear in the beginning of the range. Relative order of the elements that remain is preserved and the physical size of the container is unchanged. Iterators in [
ret
,
last
)
(if any) are still dereferenceable, but the elements themselves have unspecified values (as per MoveAssignable post-condition).
A call to ranges::unique
is sometimes followed by a call to a container’s erase
member function, which erases the unspecified values and reduces the physical size of the container to match its new logical size. These two invocations together model the Erase–remove idiom.
