Performance & Memory Considerations

Explore how std string_view in C++17 enhances performance and reduces memory consumption by providing efficient, non-owning string handling. Understand its implementation, size benefits over std string, and how its operations optimize common string tasks. This lesson helps you apply string_view for faster and more memory-efficient code.

We'll cover the following...

The core idea behind adding string_view into the Standard Library was performance and memory consumption. By leveraging string_view, you can efficiently skip the creation of many temp​orary strings which might boost performance.

Memory

string_view is usually implemented as ...
