### Unreachable sentinel <a id="unreachable.sentinels">[[unreachable.sentinels]]</a>

#### Class `unreachable_sentinel_t` <a id="unreachable.sentinel">[[unreachable.sentinel]]</a>
|
| 4 |
+
|
| 5 |
+
Class `unreachable_sentinel_t` can be used with any
|
| 6 |
+
`weakly_incrementable` type to denote the “upper bound” of an unbounded
|
| 7 |
+
interval.
|
| 8 |
+
|
| 9 |
+
[*Example 1*:
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 12 |
+
char* p;
|
| 13 |
+
// set p to point to a character buffer containing newlines
|
| 14 |
+
char* nl = find(p, unreachable_sentinel, '\n');
|
| 15 |
+
```
|
| 16 |
+
|
| 17 |
+
Provided a newline character really exists in the buffer, the use of
|
| 18 |
+
`unreachable_sentinel` above potentially makes the call to `find` more
|
| 19 |
+
efficient since the loop test against the sentinel does not require a
|
| 20 |
+
conditional branch.

|
| 23 |
+
|
| 24 |
+
``` cpp
|
| 25 |
+
namespace std {
|
| 26 |
+
struct unreachable_sentinel_t {
|
| 27 |
+
template<weakly_incrementable I>
|
| 28 |
+
friend constexpr bool operator==(unreachable_sentinel_t, const I&) noexcept
|
| 29 |
+
{ return false; }
|
| 30 |
+
};
