Defined in header <algorithm>
template< class ForwardIt >
ForwardIt is_sorted_until( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last );
(1) (since C++11)
(constexpr since C++20)
template< class ForwardIt, class Compare >
ForwardIt is_sorted_until( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,
                           Compare comp );
(2) (since C++11)
(constexpr since C++20)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt >
ForwardIt is_sorted_until( ExecutionPolicy&& policy,
                           ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last );
(3) (since C++17)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt, class Compare >
ForwardIt is_sorted_until( ExecutionPolicy&& policy,
                           ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last,
                           Compare comp );
(4) (since C++17)

Examines the source range [first, last) and finds the largest sorted range beginning at first.

1) Finds the largest range whose elements are sorted with respect to operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20).
2) Finds the largest range whose elements are sorted with respect to comp.
3,4) Same as (1,2), but executed according to policy.
These overloads participate in overload resolution only if the value of the following expression is true:

std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>>

(until C++20)

std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>>

(since C++20)

Parameters

first, last - the pair of iterators defining the source range
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 an object of type ForwardIt can be dereferenced and then implicitly converted to both of them. ​

policy - the execution policy to use
Type requirements
-
ForwardIt must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
-
Compare must meet the requirements of Compare.

Return value

The past-the-end iterator of the largest range found.

Complexity

Given N as std::distance(first, last):

1,3) 𝓞(N) comparisons using operator<(until C++20)std::less{}(since C++20).
2,4) 𝓞(N) applications of the comparator comp.

Exceptions

3,4) During the execution process:
  • If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
  • If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for standard policies, std::terminate is invoked).

Notes

std::is_sorted_until returns last for empty ranges and ranges of length one.

Possible implementation

See also the implementations in libstdc++ and libc++.

is_sorted_until (1)
template<class ForwardIt>
constexpr //< since C++20
ForwardIt is_sorted_until(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last)
{
    return std::is_sorted_until(first, last, std::less<>());
}
is_sorted_until (2)
template<class ForwardIt, class Compare>
constexpr //< since C++20
ForwardIt is_sorted_until(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, Compare comp)
{
    if (first != last)
    {
        ForwardIt next = first;
        while (++next != last)
        {
            if (comp(*next, *first))
                return next;
            first = next;
        }
    }
    return last;
}

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <random>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    std::random_device rd;
    std::mt19937 g(rd());
    const int N = 6;
    int nums[N] = {3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9};
    
    const int min_sorted_size = 4;
    
    for (int sorted_size = 0; sorted_size < min_sorted_size;)
    {
        std::shuffle(nums, nums + N, g);
        int *const sorted_end = std::is_sorted_until(nums, nums + N);
        sorted_size = std::distance(nums, sorted_end);
        assert(sorted_size >= 1);
        
        for (const auto i : nums)
            std::cout << i << ' ';
        std::cout << ": " << sorted_size << " initial sorted elements\n"
                  << std::string(sorted_size * 2 - 1, '^') << '\n';
    }
}

Possible output:

4 1 9 5 1 3 : 1 initial sorted elements
^
4 5 9 3 1 1 : 3 initial sorted elements
^^^^^
9 3 1 4 5 1 : 1 initial sorted elements
^
1 3 5 4 1 9 : 3 initial sorted elements
^^^^^
5 9 1 1 3 4 : 2 initial sorted elements
^^^
4 9 1 5 1 3 : 2 initial sorted elements
^^^
1 1 4 9 5 3 : 4 initial sorted elements
^^^^^^^
