Call signature
template < ranges:: viewable_range R, class Pred >

constexpr ranges:: view auto filter ( R && r, Pred && pred ) ;
(since C++20)
template < class Pred >
constexpr /* range adaptor closure */ filter ( Pred && pred ) ;
(since C++20)
1) A range adaptor that represents view of an underlying sequence without the elements that fail to satisfy a predicate.
2) RangeAdaptorObject . The expression views :: filter ( e, p ) is expression-equivalent to filter_view ( e, p ) for any suitable subexpressions e and p .

filter_view models the concepts bidirectional_range , forward_range , input_range , and common_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

Data members

Member name Definition
base_ (private) The underlying view of type V .
( exposition-only member object* )
pred_ (private) Wraps the predicate used to filter out elements of base_ of type copyable-box <Pred> (until C++23) movable-box <Pred> (since C++23) augmenting Pred with assignability when needed and hence always satisfies copyable or movable (since C++23) .
( exposition-only member object* )
begin_ (private)
(conditionally present)
An object of optional-like type that caches an iterator to the first element of base_ that satisfies the pred_ . Present only if filter_view models forward_range .
( exposition-only member object* )

Member functions

constructs a filter_view
(public member function)
returns the underlying view V
(public member function)
returns a reference to the predicate stored within filter_view
(public member function)
returns the beginning iterator of the filter_view
(public member function)
returns the sentinel of the filter_view
(public member function)
Inherited from std::ranges::view_interface
returns whether the derived view is empty. Provided if it satisfies sized_range or forward_range .
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )
(C++23)
returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )
(C++23)
returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )
returns whether the derived view is not empty. Provided if ranges::empty is applicable to it.
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )
returns the first element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies forward_range .
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )
returns the last element in the derived view. Provided if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range .
(public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D> )

std::ranges::filter_view:: filter_view

filter_view ( ) requires std:: default_initializable < V > &&
std:: default_initializable < Pred > = default ;
(1) (since C++20)
constexpr explicit filter_view ( V base, Pred pred ) ;
(2) (since C++20)
1) Value-initializes base_ via its default member initializer ( = V ( ) ) and default-initializes pred_ (which value-initializes the contained Pred ).
2) Initializes base_ with std :: move ( base ) and initializes pred_ with std :: move ( pred ) .

Parameters

base - range to filter
pred - predicate to filter out elements

std::ranges::filter_view:: base

constexpr V base ( ) const & requires std:: copy_constructible < V > ;
(1) (since C++20)
constexpr V base ( ) && ;
(2) (since C++20)
1) Equivalent to return base_ ; .
2) Equivalent to return std :: move ( base_ ) ; .

std::ranges::filter_view:: pred

constexpr const Pred & pred ( ) const ;
(since C++20)

Returns a reference to the contained Pred object. The behavior is undefined if pred_ does not contain a value.

std::ranges::filter_view:: begin

constexpr /*iterator*/ begin ( ) ;
( exposition only* )

In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the filter_view object for use on subsequent calls. Equivalent to

if constexpr (!ranges::forward_range<V>)
    return /*iterator*/{*this, ranges::find_if(base_, std::ref(*pred_))};
else
{
    if (!begin_.has_value())
        begin_ = ranges::find_if(base_, std::ref(*pred_)); // caching
    return /*iterator*/{*this, begin_.value())};
}

The behavior is undefined if pred_ does not contain a value.

std::ranges::filter_view:: end

constexpr auto end ( ) ;
(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the end. Equivalent to

if constexpr (ranges::common_range<V>)
    return /*iterator*/{*this, ranges::end(base_)};
else
    return /*sentinel*/{*this};

Deduction guides

template < class R, class Pred >
filter_view ( R && , Pred ) - > filter_view < views:: all_t < R > , Pred > ;
(since C++20)

Nested classes

the iterator type of filter_view
( exposition-only member class* )
the sentinel type of filter_view when the underlying view is not a common_range
( exposition-only member class* )

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
 
int main()
{
    auto even = [](int i) { return 0 == i % 2; };
    auto square = [](int i) { return i * i; };
 
    for (int i : std::views::iota(0, 6)
               | std::views::filter(even)
               | std::views::transform(square))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

0 4 16
