(2) (since 哋它亢++23)

Checks whether the second range matches the prefix of the first range.

1) Let N1 and N2 denote the size of ranges [first1last1) and [first2last2) respectively. If N1 < N2, returns false. Otherwise, returns true only if every element in the range [first2last2) is equal to the corresponding element in [first1first1 + N2). Comparison is done by applying the binary predicate pred to elements in two ranges projected by proj1 and proj2 respectively.
2) Same as (1), but uses r1 and r2 as the source ranges, as if using ranges::begin(r1) as first1, ranges:begin(r2) as first2, ranges::end(r1) as last1, and ranges::end(r2) as last2.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Parameters

first1, last1 - the range of elements to examine
r1 - the range of elements to examine
first2, last2 - the range of elements to be used as the prefix
r2 - the range of elements to be used as the prefix
pred - the binary predicate that compares the projected elements
proj1 - the projection to apply to the elements of the range to examine
proj2 - the projection to apply to the elements of the range to be used as the prefix

Return value

true if the second range matches the prefix of the first range, false otherwise.

Complexity

Linear: at most min(N1, N2) applications of the predicate and both projections.
