Defined in header <ranges>
template< ranges::input_range V, std::indirect_unary_predicate<ranges::iterator_t<V>> Pred > requires ranges::view<V> && std::is_object_v<Pred> class filter_view : public ranges::view_interface<filter_view<V, Pred>>	(1)	(since C++20)
namespace views { inline constexpr /* unspecified */ filter = /* unspecified */; }	(2)	(since C++20)
Call signature
template< ranges::viewable_range R, class Pred > requires /* see below */ constexpr ranges::view auto filter( R&& r, Pred&& pred );		(since C++20)
template< class Pred > constexpr /* range adaptor closure */ filter( Pred&& pred );		(since C++20)

1) A range adaptor that represents view of an underlying sequence without the elements that fail to satisfy a predicate.

2) RangeAdaptorObject. The expression views::filter(e, p) is expression-equivalent to filter_view(e, p) for any suitable subexpressions e and p.

See More

filter_view models the concepts bidirectional_range, forward_range, input_range, and common_range when the underlying view V models respective concepts.

Data members

Member	Description
V base_ (private)	the underlying view (exposition-only member object*)
copyable-box<Pred>(until C++23)movable-box<Pred>(since C++23) pred_ (private)	wraps the predicate used to filter out elements of base_ (exposition-only member object*)
non-propagating-cache<ranges::iterator_t<V>> begin_ (private) (present only if V satisfies forward_range)	an object that caches an iterator to the first element of base_ that satisfies the pred_ (exposition-only member object*)

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a filter_view (public member function)
base	returns the underlying view V (public member function)
pred	returns a reference to the predicate stored within filter_view (public member function)
begin	returns the beginning iterator of the filter_view (public member function)
end	returns the sentinel of the filter_view (public member function)
Inherited from ranges::view_interface
empty	returns whether the derived view is empty, provided only if it satisfies sized_range or forward_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
cbegin (C++23)	returns a constant iterator to the beginning of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
cend (C++23)	returns a sentinel for the constant iterator of the range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
operator bool	returns whether the derived view is not empty, provided only if ranges::empty is applicable to it (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
front	returns the first element in the derived view, provided if it satisfies forward_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)
back	returns the last element in the derived view, provided only if it satisfies bidirectional_range and common_range (public member function of std::ranges::view_interface<D>)

std::ranges::filter_view::filter_view

filter_view() requires std::default_initializable<V> && std::default_initializable<Pred> = default;	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr explicit filter_view( V base, Pred pred );	(2)	(since C++20)

1) Value-initializes base_ via its default member initializer (= V()) and default-initializes pred_ (which value-initializes the contained Pred).

2) Initializes base_ with std::move(base) and initializes pred_ with std::move(pred).

Parameters

base	-	range to filter
pred	-	predicate to filter out elements

std::ranges::filter_view::base

constexpr V base() const& requires std::copy_constructible<V>;	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr V base() &&;	(2)	(since C++20)

1) Equivalent to return base_;.

2) Equivalent to return std::move(base_);.

std::ranges::filter_view::pred

constexpr const Pred& pred() const;		(since C++20)

Returns a reference to the contained Pred object. The behavior is undefined if pred_ does not contain a value.

std::ranges::filter_view::begin

constexpr /*iterator*/ begin();		(exposition only*)

In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the filter_view object for use on subsequent calls. Equivalent to

if constexpr (!ranges::forward_range<V>)
    return /*iterator*/{*this, ranges::find_if(base_, std::ref(*pred_))};
else
{
    if (!begin_.has_value())
        begin_ = ranges::find_if(base_, std::ref(*pred_)); // caching
    return /*iterator*/{*this, begin_.value())};
}

The behavior is undefined if pred_ does not contain a value.

std::ranges::filter_view::end

constexpr auto end();		(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the end. Equivalent to

if constexpr (ranges::common_range<V>)
    return /*iterator*/{*this, ranges::end(base_)};
else
    return /*sentinel*/{*this};

Deduction guides

template< class R, class Pred > filter_view( R&&, Pred ) -> filter_view<views::all_t<R>, Pred>;		(since C++20)

Nested classes

iterator	the iterator type of filter_view (exposition-only member class*)
sentinel	the sentinel type of filter_view when the underlying view is not a common_range (exposition-only member class*)

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>

int main()
{
    auto even = [](int i) { return 0 == i % 2; };
    auto square = [](int i) { return i * i; };
    
    for (int i : std::views::iota(0, 6)
               | std::views::filter(even)
               | std::views::transform(square))
        std::cout << i << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

0 4 16

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3714 (P2711R1)	C++20	the multi-parameter constructor was not explicit	made explicit
P2325R3	C++20	if Pred is not default_initializable, the default constructor constructs a filter_view which does not contain a Pred	the filter_view is also not default_initializable
