using unique_copy_result =ranges::in_out_result<I, O>;
(3) (since C++20)
1) Copies the elements from the source range [firstlast), to the destination range beginning at result in such a way that there are no consecutive equal elements. Only the first element of each group of equal elements is copied.
The ranges [firstlast) and [resultresult + N) must not overlap. N =ranges::distance(first, last).
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 +1last).
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first, and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Contents

[edit]Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the source range of elements to process
r - the source range of elements
result - the destination range of elements
comp - the binary predicate to compare the projected elements
proj - the projection to apply to the elements

[edit]Return value

{last, result + N}

[edit]Complexity

Exactly N -1 applications of the corresponding predicate comp and no more than twice as many applications of any projection proj.

[edit]Possible implementation

See also the implementations in libstdc++ and MSVC STL (and third-party libraries: cmcstl2, NanoRange, and range-v3).

[edit]Example

#include <algorithm>#include <cmath>#include <iostream>#include <iterator>#include <list>#include <string>#include <type_traits>   void print(constauto& rem, constauto& v){using V =std::remove_cvref_t<decltype(v)>;constexprbool sep{std::is_same_v<typename V::value_type, int>};std::cout<< rem <<std::showpos;for(constauto& e : v)std::cout<< e <<(sep ?" ":"");std::cout<<'\n';}   int main(){std::string s1{"The string with many spaces!"}; print("s1: ", s1);   std::string s2; std::ranges::unique_copy( s1.begin(), s1.end(), std::back_inserter(s2), [](char c1, char c2){return c1 ==' '&& c2 ==' ';}); print("s2: ", s2);   constauto v1 ={-1, +1, +2, -2, -3, +3, -3}; print("v1: ", v1);std::list<int> v2; std::ranges::unique_copy( v1, std::back_inserter(v2), {}, // default comparator std::ranges::equal_to[](int x){return std::abs(x);}// projection); print("v2: ", v2);}

Output:

s1: The string with many spaces! s2: The string with many spaces! v1: -1 +1 +2 -2 -3 +3 -3 v2: -1 +2 -3
