Is it possible to load file directly into the std::string_view?
Directly = without creating the proxy std::string from stringstream.
It would make a lot of my code faster.
If I understand what you are asking, no.
std::string_view
refers to a region of memory, but it does not own that memory. This means that an std::string_view
requires that another object exist which actually holds the char
objects that it refers to.
If an std::string_view
is referring to an std::string
and that string's lifetime ends, then the std::string_view
is now effectively a dangling reference/pointer and trying to read characters from it would cause undefined behavior.
Note that std::string_view
can refer to contiguous sequences of char
objects aside from std::string
, such as a simple char
array or an std::vector<char>
, but regardless of what it refers to, the referent must exist at least as long as the std::string_view
will be used.
