Copies the elements from the range [
first,
last)
, to another range beginning at d_first in such a way that there are no consecutive equal elements. Only the first element of each group of equal elements is copied.
1) Elements are compared using operator==.
3) Elements are compared using the given binary predicate p.
If p does not establish an equivalence relation, the behavior is undefined.
2,4) Same as (1,3), but executed according to policy.
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:
If *d_first = *first is invalid(until C++20)*first is not writable to d_first(since C++20), the program is ill-formed.
If source and destination ranges overlap, the behavior is undefined.
Given T
as the value type of InputIt
, if overload (1) or (3) does not satisfy all of the following conditions, the behavior is undefined:
T
is both CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable.OutputIt
meets the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.OutputIt
is also T
.T
is CopyAssignable.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 an object of type InputIt can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to both of them. â
InputIt
must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator. -OutputIt
must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator. -ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2
must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator. [edit] Return value
Output iterator to the element past the last written element.
[edit] ComplexityGiven \(\scriptsize N\)N as std::distance(first, last):
1,2) Exactly \(\scriptsize max(0,N-1)\)max(0,N-1) comparisons using operator==.
3,4) Exactly \(\scriptsize max(0,N-1)\)max(0,N-1) applications of the predicate p.
For overloads (2,4), there may be a performance cost if the value type of ForwardIt1
is not both CopyConstructible and CopyAssignable.
The overloads with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy
report errors as follows:
ExecutionPolicy
is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy
, the behavior is implementation-defined.See also the implementations in libstdc++ and libc++.
[edit] NotesIf InputIt
satisfies LegacyForwardIterator, this function rereads the input in order to detect duplicates.
Otherwise, if OutputIt
satisfies LegacyForwardIterator, and the value type of InputIt
is the same as that of OutputIt
, this function compare *d_first to *first.
Otherwise, this function compares *first to a local element copy.
[edit] Example#include <algorithm> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <string> int main() { std::string s1 {"A string with mmmany letters!"}; std::cout << "Before: " << s1 << '\n'; std::string s2; std::unique_copy(s1.begin(), s1.end(), std::back_inserter(s2), [](char c1, char c2) { return c1 == 'm' && 'm' == c2; }); std::cout << "After: " << s2 << '\n'; }
Output:
Before: A string with mmmany letters! After: A string with many letters![edit] Defect reports
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
