==Duplication==

Some non-member functions are at the higher-level page and some are here, is that ok? Should all be duplicated here? --Cubbi

: I think we can move these functions here. [[User:P12|P12]] 11:40, 12 September 2011 (PDT)

==Errors==

The member type <tt>pointer</tt> is defined as <tt>T</tt>, which does not seem to make sense, because <tt>T</tt> is nowhere defined. Should it be <tt>CharT*</tt> instead?
:Yes, that is an error. Thanks. Fixing. --[[User:Cubbi|Cubbi]] 19:06, 13 March 2012 (PDT)

==Missing==

Is there a reason the destructor is not listed? Might be helpful to clearly say it is <tt>noexcept</tt> and has constant complexity.

:It is likely missing because it's hard to find in the standard: as far as I can see, it's documented as part of container requirements (and string is documented to satisfy those requirements), and its complexity there is listed as "linear", since container requirements specify a call to allocator_traits::destroy for every element.. actual strings seem to only call deallocate once, though. I wonder if it's been discussed before. --[[User:Cubbi|Cubbi]] ([[User talk:Cubbi|talk]]) 13:27, 19 October 2016 (PDT)


==Order of Methods==
One point is that assign() is in the 'Members' section, while append()/insert() are under 'Operations' What is the reason for that?
Second point: Is it okay if I order the methods in 'Operations' alphabetically? I cannot see a logic in the current order. [[User:Gemini67|Gemini67]] ([[User talk:Gemini67|talk]]) 06:12, 20 March 2017 (PDT)
: you could go farther and regroup/reorder them the way the standard does: iterators, capacity, access, modifiers, operations. See [http://eel.is/c++draft/basic.string basic.string] --[[User:Cubbi|Cubbi]] ([[User talk:Cubbi|talk]]) 06:34, 20 March 2017 (PDT)

==std::basic_string_view operations==
It's hard to find operations that work with <tt>std::basic_string_view</tt>. May be it's a good idea to rename <tt><class T></tt> parameter to <tt><class StringView></tt>? It would be a good hint. --[[User:Victor.dyachenko|__vic]] ([[User talk:Victor.dyachenko|talk]]) 04:48, 7 May 2021 (PDT)
