Call signature
(1) (since C++20) (2) (since C++20)1) Eliminates all except the first element from every consecutive group of equivalent elements from the range [
first,
last)
and returns a subrange [
ret,
last)
, where ret
is a past-the-end iterator for the new end of the range.
Two consecutive elements
*(i - 1)
and
*i
are considered equivalent if
std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj, *(i - 1)), std::invoke(proj, *i)) == true, where
i
is an iterator in the range
[
first + 1,
last)
.
The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:
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.
[edit] NotesRemoving 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 containerâs 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 Eraseâremove idiom.
