26.3 Range access [range.access]

26.3.7 ranges​::​rend [range.access.rend]

The name ranges​::​rend denotes a customization point object ([customization.point.object]).
Given a subexpression E with type T, let t be an lvalue that denotes the reified object for E.
Then:
  • If E is an rvalue and enable_borrowed_range<remove_cv_t<T>> is false, ranges​::​rend(E) is ill-formed.
  • Otherwise, if T is an array type ([dcl.array]) and remove_all_extents_t<T> is an incomplete type, ranges​::​rend(E) is ill-formed with no diagnostic required.
  • Otherwise, if auto(t.rend()) is a valid expression whose type models sentinel_for<decltype(​ranges​::​rbegin(E))> then ranges​::​rend(E) is expression-equivalent to auto(t.rend()).
  • Otherwise, if T is a class or enumeration type and auto(rend(t)) is a valid expression whose type models sentinel_for<decltype(ranges​::​rbegin(E))> where the meaning of rend is established as-if by performing argument-dependent lookup only ([basic.lookup.argdep]), then ranges​::​rend(E) is expression-equivalent to that expression.
  • Otherwise, if both ranges​::​begin(t) and ranges​::​end(t) are valid expressions of the same type which models bidirectional_iterator ([iterator.concept.bidir]), then ranges​::​rend(E) is expression-equivalent to make_reverse_iterator(ranges​::​begin(t)).
  • Otherwise, ranges​::​rend(E) is ill-formed.
[Note 1: 
Diagnosable ill-formed cases above result in substitution failure when ranges​::​rend(E) appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

[Note 2: 
Whenever ranges​::​rend(E) is a valid expression, the types S and I of the expressions ranges​::​rend(E) and ranges​::​rbegin(E) model sentinel_for<S, I>.
