(4) (since C++17)

Constructs a sorted union beginning at d_first consisting of the set of elements present in one or both sorted ranges [first1last1) and [first2last2).

If [first1last1) contains m elements that are equivalent to each other and [first2last2) contains n elements that are equivalent to them, then all m elements will be copied from [first1last1) to the output range, preserving order, and then the final std::max(n - m, 0) elements will be copied from [first2last2) to the output range, also preserving order.

1)

If

[first1last1)

or

[first2last2)

is not

sorted

with respect to

operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20)

, the behavior is undefined.

3) If [first1last1) or [first2last2) is not sorted with respect to comp, 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 the output range overlaps with [first1last1) or [first2last2), the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Parameters first1, last1 - the pair of iterators defining the first input sorted range of elements first2, last2 - the pair of iterators defining the second input sorted range of elements d_first - the beginning of the output range policy - the execution policy to use comp - comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) which returns ​true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second.

The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following:

bool cmp(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 objects of types InputIt1 and InputIt2 can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to both Type1 and Type2. ​

Type requirements -InputIt1, InputIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator. -ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2, ForwardIt3 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator. -OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator. -Compare must meet the requirements of Compare. [edit] Return value

Iterator past the end of the constructed range.

            if (!comp(*first1, *first2)) // Equivalent => don't need to include *first2.
                ++first2;
            ++first1;

    return std::copy(first2, last2, d_first);
}
[edit] Notes

This algorithm performs a similar task as std::merge does. Both consume two sorted input ranges and produce a sorted output with elements from both inputs. The difference between these two algorithms is with handling values from both input ranges which compare equivalent (see notes on LessThanComparable). If any equivalent values appeared n times in the first range and m times in the second, std::merge would output all n + m occurrences whereas std::set_union would output std::max(n, m) ones only. So std::merge outputs exactly std::distance(first1, last1) + std::distance(first2, last2) values and std::set_union may produce fewer.

[edit] Example
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
void println(const std::vector<int>& v)
{
    for (int i : v)
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v1, v2, dest;
 
    v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    v2 = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
 
    std::set_union(v1.cbegin(), v1.cend(),
                   v2.cbegin(), v2.cend(),
                   std::back_inserter(dest));
    println(dest);
 
    dest.clear();
 
    v1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5};
    v2 = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
 
    std::set_union(v1.cbegin(), v1.cend(),
                   v2.cbegin(), v2.cend(),
                   std::back_inserter(dest));
    println(dest);
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 
1 2 3 4 5 5 5 6 7
