Hi!

You're completely right of course, overloading wouldn't work in that case.

I had implemented these functions and tested them for myself, but I didn't implement the = 1 in the overloaded slice() function.

I'll remove the default argument to fix the overloading, and implement a check where it has to be 1 at the very least.

Thanks a lot!

Hi there,

How are these two supposed to be distinguished by the compiler if the 3rd parameter is defaulted.
/* 1. */ basic_string_view basic_string::slice(size_t start, size_t end);
/* 2. */ basic_string basic_string::slice(size_t start, size_t end, size_t step = 1);

I mean, I don't see how the function overloading will work in this case.
const auto str = initial_str.slice(3, 5); // which of the above two is called?

Regards,
Pavel.

Hi all,

With some helpful suggestions, I'd like to present my draft proposal for the inclusion of several new utility functions to be added to std::basic_string.

Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns or feedback!

Sincerely,
