23.4.3 Class template basic_string [basic.string]

23.4.3.1 General [basic.string.general]

1
#
The class template basic_string describes objects that can store a sequence consisting of a varying number of arbitrary char-like objects with the first element of the sequence at position zero.
Such a sequence is also called a “string” if the type of the char-like objects that it holds is clear from context.
In the rest of [basic.string], the type of the char-like objects held in a basic_string object is designated by charT.
2
#
A specialization of basic_string is a contiguous container ([container.reqmts]).
3
#
In all cases, [data(), data() + size()] is a valid range, data() + size() points at an object with value charT() (a “null terminator”), and size() <= capacity() is true.

#
A size_type parameter type in a basic_string deduction guide refers to the size_type member type of the type deduced by the deduction guide.
5
#
The types iterator and const_iterator meet the constexpr iterator requirements ([iterator.requirements.general]).

23.4.3.2 General requirements [string.require]

1
#
If any operation would cause size() to exceed max_size(), that operation throws an exception object of type length_error.
2
#
If any member function or operator of basic_string throws an exception, that function or operator has no other effect on the basic_string object.
3
#
Every object of type basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> uses an object of type Allocator to allocate and free storage for the contained charT objects as needed.
The Allocator object used is obtained as described in [container.reqmts].
In every specialization basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>, the type traits shall meet the character traits requirements ([char.traits]).
[Note 1: 
Every specialization basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> is an allocator-aware container ([container.alloc.reqmts]), but does not use the allocator's construct and destroy member functions ([container.requirements.pre]).
The program is ill-formed if Allocator​::​value_type is not the same type as charT.
— end note]
[Note 2: 
The program is ill-formed if traits​::​char_type is not the same type as charT.
— end note]

#
References, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements of a basic_string sequence may be invalidated by the following uses of that basic_string object:
  • (4.1)
    Passing as an argument to any standard library function taking a reference to non-const basic_string as an argument.206
  • (4.2)
    Calling non-const member functions, except operator[], at, data, front, back, begin, rbegin, end, and rend.
206)206)
For example, as an argument to non-member functions swap() ([string.special]), operator>>() ([string.io]), and getline() ([string.io]), or as an argument to basic_string​::​swap().

    After evaluating OP there are no indeterminate values in the range [p, p + r).
10
#
Effects: Evaluates OP, replaces the contents of *this with [p, p + r), and invalidates all pointers and references to the range [p, p + n].
11
#
Recommended practice: Implementations should avoid unnecessary copies and allocations by, for example, making p a pointer into internal storage and by restoring *(p + r) to charT() after evaluating OP.

constexpr size_type capacity() const noexcept;
12
#
Returns: The size of the allocated storage in the string.
13
#
Complexity: Constant time.
🔗
constexpr void reserve(size_type res_arg);
14
#
Effects: A directive that informs a basic_string of a planned change in size, so that the storage allocation can be managed accordingly.
Following a call to reserve, capacity() is greater or equal to the argument of reserve if reallocation happens; and equal to the previous value of capacity() otherwise.
Reallocation happens at this point if and only if the current capacity is less than the argument of reserve.
15
#
Throws: length_error if res_arg > max_size() or any exceptions thrown by allocator_traits <Allocator>​::​allocate.
🔗
constexpr void shrink_to_fit();
16
#
Effects: shrink_to_fit is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size().
[Note 1: 
The request is non-binding to allow latitude for implementation-specific optimizations.
— end note]
It does not increase capacity(), but may reduce capacity() by causing reallocation.
17
#
Complexity: If the size is not equal to the old capacity, linear in the size of the sequence; otherwise constant.
18
#
Remarks: Reallocation invalidates all the references, pointers, and iterators referring to the elements in the sequence, as well as the past-the-end iterator.
[Note 2: 
If no reallocation happens, they remain valid.
