std::ranges::includes() algorithm

since C++20

Simplified

// (1)constexpr bool    includes( I1 first1, S1 last1, I2 first2, S2 last2,              Comp comp = {}, Proj1 proj1 = {}, Proj2 proj2 = {} )// (2)constexpr bool    includes( R1&& r1, R2&& r2, Comp comp = {}, Proj1 proj1 = {}, Proj2 proj2 = {} )

The type of arguments are generic and have the following constraints:

• I1, I2 - std::input_iterator

• S1, S2 - std::sentinel_for<I1>, std::sentinel_for<I2>

• R1, R2 - std::ranges::input_range

• O - std::weakly_incrementable

• Comp:

  • (1) - indirect_strict_weak_order<projected<I1, Proj1>, projected<I2, Proj2>>
  • (2) - indirect_strict_weak_order<projected<ranges::iterator_t<R1> Proj1>, projected<ranges::iterator_t<R2> Proj2>>

  (The std:: namespace was ommited here for readability)

• Proj1, Proj2 - (none)

The Proj and Comp template arguments have the following default types: std::identity, ranges::less for all overloads.

• (1) Returns true if the projections of the sorted range [first2; last2) is a subsequence of the projections of the sorted range [first1; last1).

  The ranges must be sorted with the given comparison function comp.

  A subsequence need not be contiguous.

• (2) Same as (1), but uses r1 as the first range and r2 as the second range, as if using ranges::begin(r1) as first1, ranges::end(r1) as last1, ranges::begin(r2) as first2, and ranges::end(r2) as last2.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids.

Parameters

first1 last1	The sorted range of elements to examine.
r r1	The sorted range of elements to examine.
first2 last2	The sorted range of elements to search for.
r2	The sorted range of elements to search for.
comp	Comparison function to apply to projected elements.
proj1	Projection to apply to the elements in the first range.
proj2	Projection to apply to the elements in the second range.

Return value

true if [first2; last2) is a subsequence of [first1; last1).
Otherwise, false.

Complexity

Given N1 as ranges::distance(r1) and N2 as ranges::distance(r2):

At most 2 * (N1 + N2 − 1) comparisons

Exceptions

(none)
