27.7.8 Remove [alg.remove]

template<class ForwardIterator, class T> constexpr ForwardIterator remove(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& value); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIterator, class T> ForwardIterator remove(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& value); template<class ForwardIterator, class Predicate> constexpr ForwardIterator remove_if(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, Predicate pred); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIterator, class Predicate> ForwardIterator remove_if(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, Predicate pred); template<permutable I, sentinel_for<I> S, class T, class Proj = identity> requires indirect_binary_predicate<ranges::equal_to, projected<I, Proj>, const T*> constexpr subrange<I> ranges::remove(I first, S last, const T& value, Proj proj = {}); template<forward_range R, class T, class Proj = identity> requires permutable<iterator_t<R>> && indirect_binary_predicate<ranges::equal_to, projected<iterator_t<R>, Proj>, const T*> constexpr borrowed_subrange_t<R> ranges::remove(R&& r, const T& value, Proj proj = {}); template<permutable I, sentinel_for<I> S, class Proj = identity, indirect_unary_predicate<projected<I, Proj>> Pred> constexpr subrange<I> ranges::remove_if(I first, S last, Pred pred, Proj proj = {}); template<forward_range R, class Proj = identity, indirect_unary_predicate<projected<iterator_t<R>, Proj>> Pred> requires permutable<iterator_t<R>> constexpr borrowed_subrange_t<R> ranges::remove_if(R&& r, Pred pred, Proj proj = {});
Let E be
  • bool(*i == value) for remove;
  • bool(pred(*i)) for remove_if;
  • bool(invoke(proj, *i) == value) for ranges​::​remove;
  • bool(invoke(pred, invoke(proj, *i))) for ranges​::​remove_if.
Preconditions: For the algorithms in namespace std, the type of *first meets the Cpp17MoveAssignable requirements (Table 33).
Effects: Eliminates all the elements referred to by iterator i in the range [first, last) for which E holds.
Returns: Let j be the end of the resulting range.
Returns:
  • j for the overloads in namespace std.
  • {j, last} for the overloads in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly last - first applications of the corresponding predicate and any projection.
Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).
[Note 1: 
Each element in the range [ret, last), where ret is the returned value, has a valid but unspecified state, because the algorithms can eliminate elements by moving from elements that were originally in that range.

Let E be
  • bool(*i == value) for remove_copy;
  • bool(pred(*i)) for remove_copy_if;
  • bool(invoke(proj, *i) == value) for ranges​::​remove_copy;
  • bool(invoke(pred, invoke(proj, *i))) for ranges​::​remove_copy_if.
Let N be the number of elements in [first, last) for which E is false.
Mandates: *first is writable ([iterator.requirements.general]) to result.
Preconditions: The ranges [first, last) and [result, result + (last - first)) do not overlap.
[Note 2: 
For the overloads with an ExecutionPolicy, there might be a performance cost if iterator_traits<ForwardIterator1>​::​value_type does not meet the Cpp17MoveConstructible (Table 31) requirements.
— end note]
Effects: Copies all the elements referred to by the iterator i in the range [first, last) for which E is false.
Returns:
  • result + N, for the algorithms in namespace std.
  • {last, result + N}, for the algorithms in namespace ranges.
Complexity: Exactly last - first applications of the corresponding predicate and any projection.
Remarks: Stable ([algorithm.stable]).
