25.7.18 Concat view [range.concat]

25.7.18.1 Overview [range.concat.overview]

concat_view presents a view that concatenates all the underlying ranges.
The name views​::​concat denotes a customization point object ([customization.point.object]).
Given a pack of subexpressions Es..., the expression views​::​concat(Es...) is expression-equivalent to
  • views​::​all(Es...) if Es is a pack with only one element whose type models input_range,
  • otherwise, concat_view(Es...).
[Example 1: vector<int> v1{1, 2, 3}, v2{4, 5}, v3{}; array a{6, 7, 8}; auto s = views::single(9); for (auto&& i : views::concat(v1, v2, v3, a, s)) { print("{} ", i); // prints 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 } — end example]

iterator​::​iterator_concept is defined as follows:
  • If concat-is-random-access<Const, Views...> is modeled, then iterator_concept denotes random_access_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if concat-is-bidirectional<Const, Views...> is modeled, then iterator_concept denotes bidirectional_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if all-forward<Const, Views...> is modeled, then iterator_concept denotes forward_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, iterator_concept denotes input_iterator_tag.
The member typedef-name iterator_category is defined if and only if all-forward<Const, Views...> is modeled.
In that case, iterator​::​iterator_category is defined as follows:

  • Otherwise, let Cs denote the pack of types iterator_traits<iterator_t<maybe-const<Const, Views>>>​::​iterator_category....
    • If (derived_from<Cs, random_access_iterator_tag> && ...) && concat-is-random-access<Const, Views...> is true, iterator_category denotes random_access_iterator_tag.
    • Otherwise, if (derived_from<Cs, bidirectional_iterator_tag> && ...) && concat-is-bidirectional<Const, Views...> is true, iterator_category denotes bidirectional_iterator_tag.
    • Otherwise, if (derived_from<Cs, forward_iterator_tag> && ...) is true, iterator_category denotes forward_iterator_tag.
