Assignment


== Synopsis

Declared in header `<https://www.github.com/boostorg/url/blob/develop/include/boost/url/segments_ref.hpp#L204[boost/url/segments_ref.hpp,window=blank_]>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,macros,-callouts"]
----
xref:boost/urls/segments_ref.adoc[segments_ref]&
operator=(xref:std.adoc[std]::initializer_list<core::string_view> init);
----

== Description


The existing contents are replaced
by a copy of the contents of the
initializer list.
Reserved characters in the list are
automatically escaped.



All iterators are invalidated.

=== Example
[,cpp]
----
url u;

u.segments() = { "path", "to", "file.txt" };
----

=== Preconditions

None of the character buffers referenced
by the list may overlap the character
buffer of the underlying url, or else
the behavior is undefined.

=== Effects
[,cpp]
----
this->assign( init.begin(), init.end() );
----

=== Complexity

Linear in `init.size() + this-&gt;url().encoded_query().size() + this-&gt;url().encoded_fragment().size()`.

=== Exception Safety

Strong guarantee.
Calls to allocate may throw.





== Parameters

|===
| Name | Description 

| *init*
| 
The list of segments to assign.
