24.4 Range requirements [range.req]

24.4.1 General [range.req.general]

1
#
Ranges are an abstraction that allow a C++ program to operate on elements of data structures uniformly.
Calling ranges::begin on a range returns an object whose type models Iterator.
Calling ranges::end on a range returns an object whose type S, together with the type I of the object returned by ranges::begin, models Sentinel<S, I>.
The library formalizes the interfaces, semantics, and complexity of ranges to enable algorithms and range adaptors that work efficiently on different types of sequences.
2
#
The Range concept requires that ranges::begin and ranges::end return an iterator and a sentinel, respectively.
The SizedRange concept refines Range with the requirement that the number of elements in the range can be determined in constant time using the ranges::size function.
The View concept specifies requirements on a Range type with constant-time copy and assign operations.
3
#
Several refinements of Range group requirements that arise frequently in concepts and algorithms.
Common ranges are ranges for which ranges::begin and ranges::end return objects of the same type.
Random access ranges are ranges for which ranges::begin returns a type that models RandomAccessIterator.
(Contiguous, bidirectional, forward, input, and output ranges are defined similarly.)
Viewable ranges can be converted to views.

24.4.2 Ranges [range.range]

1
#
The Range concept defines the requirements of a type that allows iteration over its elements by providing an iterator and sentinel that denote the elements of the range.
🔗
template<class T> concept range-impl = // exposition only requires(T&& t) { ranges::begin(std::forward<T>(t)); // sometimes equality-preserving (see below) ranges::end(std::forward<T>(t)); }; template<class T> concept Range = range-impl<T&>; template<class T> concept forwarding-range = // exposition only Range<T> && range-impl<T>;
2
#
The required expressions ranges::begin(std::forward<T>(t)) and ranges::end(std::forward<​T>(t)) of the range-impl concept do not require implicit expression variations ([concepts.equality]).
3
#
Given an expression E such that decltype((E)) is T, T models range-impl only if
  • (3.1)
    [ranges::begin(E), ranges::end(E)) denotes a range ([iterator.requirements.general]),
  • (3.2)
    both ranges::begin(E) and ranges::end(E) are amortized constant time and non-modifying, and
  • (3.3)
    if the type of ranges::begin(E) models ForwardIterator, ranges::begin(E) is equality-preserving.
4
#
[ Note
:
Equality preservation of both ranges::begin and ranges::end enables passing a Range whose iterator type models ForwardIterator to multiple algorithms and making multiple passes over the range by repeated calls to ranges::begin and ranges::end.
Since ranges::begin is not required to be equality-preserving when the return type does not model ForwardIterator, repeated calls might not return equal values or might not be well-defined; ranges::begin should be called at most once for such a range.
— end note
 ]
5
#
Given an expression E such that decltype((E)) is T and an lvalue t that denotes the same object as E, T models forwarding-range only if
  • (5.1)
    ranges::begin(E) and ranges::begin(t) are expression-equivalent,
  • (5.2)
    ranges::end(E) and ranges::end(t) are expression-equivalent, and
  • (5.3)
    the validity of iterators obtained from the object denoted by E is not tied to the lifetime of that object.
6
#
[ Note
:
Since the validity of iterators is not tied to the lifetime of an object whose type models forwarding-range, a function can accept arguments of such a type by value and return iterators obtained from it without danger of dangling.
— end note
 ]
7
#
[ Example
:
Specializations of class template subrange model forwarding-range.
subrange provides non-member rvalue overloads of begin and end with the same semantics as its member lvalue overloads, and subrange's iterators - since they are “borrowed” from some other range - do not have validity tied to the lifetime of a subrange object.
— end example
 ]

24.4.3 Sized ranges [range.sized]

1
#
The SizedRange concept specifies the requirements of a Range type that knows its size in constant time with the size function.
🔗
template<class T> concept SizedRange = Range<T> && !disable_sized_range<remove_cvref_t<T>> && requires(T& t) { ranges::size(t); };
2
#
Given an lvalue t of type remove_­reference_­t<T>, T models SizedRange only if
  • (2.1)
    ranges::size(t) is , does not modify t, and is equal to ranges::distance(t), and
  • (2.2)
    if iterator_­t<T> models ForwardIterator, ranges::size(t) is well-defined regardless of the evaluation of ranges::begin(t).
    [ Note
    :
    ranges::size(t) is otherwise not required to be well-defined after evaluating ranges::begin(t).
    For example, ranges::size(t) might be well-defined for a SizedRange whose iterator type does not model ForwardIterator only if evaluated before the first call to ranges::begin(t).
    — end note
     ]
3
#
[ Note
:
The complexity requirement for the evaluation of ranges::size is non-amortized, unlike the case for the complexity of the evaluations of ranges::begin and ranges::end in the Range concept.
— end note
 ]
4
#
[ Note
:
disable_­sized_­range allows use of range types with the library that satisfy but do not in fact model SizedRange.
— end note
 ]

24.4.4 Views [range.view]

1
#
The View concept specifies the requirements of a Range type that has constant time copy, move, and assignment operators; that is, the cost of these operations is not proportional to the number of elements in the View.
2
#
[ Example
:
Examples of Views are:
  • A Range type that wraps a pair of iterators.
  • A Range type that holds its elements by shared_­ptr and shares ownership with all its copies.
  • A Range type that generates its elements on demand.
Most containers are not views since copying the container copies the elements, which cannot be done in constant time.
— end example
 ]
🔗
template<class T> inline constexpr bool enable_view = see below; template<class T> concept View = Range<T> && Semiregular<T> && enable_view<T>;
3
#
Since the difference between Range and View is largely semantic, the two are differentiated with the help of enable_­view.
4
#
For a type T, the default value of enable_­view<T> is:
5
#
Pursuant to [namespace.std], users may specialize enable_­view to true for types which model View, and false for types which do not.

24.4.5 Other range refinements [range.refinements]

1
#
The OutputRange concept specifies requirements of a Range type for which ranges::begin returns a model of OutputIterator.
InputRange, ForwardRange, BidirectionalRange, and RandomAccessRange are defined similarly.
🔗
template<class R, class T> concept OutputRange = Range<R> && OutputIterator<iterator_t<R>, T>; template<class T> concept InputRange = Range<T> && InputIterator<iterator_t<T>>; template<class T> concept ForwardRange = InputRange<T> && ForwardIterator<iterator_t<T>>; template<class T> concept BidirectionalRange = ForwardRange<T> && BidirectionalIterator<iterator_t<T>>; template<class T> concept RandomAccessRange = BidirectionalRange<T> && RandomAccessIterator<iterator_t<T>>;
2
#
ContiguousRange additionally requires that the ranges::data customization point ([range.prim.data]) is usable with the range.
🔗
template<class T> concept ContiguousRange = RandomAccessRange<T> && ContiguousIterator<iterator_t<T>> && requires(T& t) { { ranges::data(t) } -> Same<add_pointer_t<iter_reference_t<iterator_t<T>>>>; };
3
#
The CommonRange concept specifies requirements of a Range type for which ranges::begin and ranges::end return objects of the same type.
[ Example
:
The standard containers model CommonRange.
— end example
 ]
🔗
template<class T> concept CommonRange = Range<T> && Same<iterator_t<T>, sentinel_t<T>>;
4
#

24.5 Range utilities [range.utility]

1
#
The components in this subclause are general utilities for representing and manipulating ranges.

24.5.1 Helper concepts [range.utility.helpers]

1
#
Many of the types in this subclause are specified in terms of the following exposition-only concepts:
template<class R>
  concept simple-view =                         // exposition only
    View<R> && Range<const R> &&
    Same<iterator_t<R>, iterator_t<const R>> &&
    Same<sentinel_t<R>, sentinel_t<const R>>;

template<InputIterator I>
  concept has-arrow =                           // exposition only
    is_pointer_v<I> || requires(I i) { i.operator->(); };

template<class T, class U>
  concept not-same-as =                         // exposition only
    !Same<remove_cvref_t<T>, remove_cvref_t<U>>;

24.5.2 View interface [view.interface]

1
#
The class template view_­interface is a helper for defining View-like types that offer a container-like interface.
It is parameterized with the type that is derived from it.

#
The template parameter D for view_­interface may be an incomplete type.
Before any member of the resulting specialization of view_­interface other than special member functions is referenced, D shall be complete, and model both DerivedFrom<view_­interface<D>> and View.

24.5.4 Dangling iterator handling [range.dangling]

1
#
The tag type dangling is used together with the template aliases safe_­iterator_­t and safe_­subrange_­t to indicate that an algorithm that typically returns an iterator into or subrange of a Range argument does not return an iterator or subrange which could potentially reference a range whose lifetime has ended for a particular rvalue Range argument which does not model forwarding-range ([range.range]).
namespace std::ranges {
  struct dangling {
    constexpr dangling() noexcept = default;
    template<class... Args>
      constexpr dangling(Args&&...) noexcept { }
  };
}
2
#
[ Example
: 
vector<int> f();
auto result1 = ranges::find(f(), 42);                                   // #1
static_assert(Same<decltype(result1), ranges::dangling>);
auto vec = f();
auto result2 = ranges::find(vec, 42);                                   // #2
static_assert(Same<decltype(result2), vector<int>::iterator>);
auto result3 = ranges::find(subrange{vec}, 42);                         // #3
static_assert(Same<decltype(result3), vector<int>::iterator>);
The call to ranges::find at #1 returns ranges::dangling since f() is an rvalue vector; the vector could potentially be destroyed before a returned iterator is dereferenced.
However, the calls at #2 and #3 both return iterators since the lvalue vec and specializations of subrange model forwarding-range.

24.6.3.5 view​::​iota [range.iota.adaptor]

1
#
The name view::iota denotes a customization point object ([customization.point.object]).
For some subexpressions E and F, the expressions view::iota(E) and view::iota(E, F) are expression-equivalent to iota_­view{E} and iota_­view{E, F}, respectively.

24.7 Range adaptors [range.adaptors]

1
#
This subclause defines range adaptors, which are utilities that transform a Range into a View with custom behaviors.
These adaptors can be chained to create pipelines of range transformations that evaluate lazily as the resulting view is iterated.
2
#
Range adaptors are declared in namespace std::ranges::view.
3
#
The bitwise OR operator is overloaded for the purpose of creating adaptor chain pipelines.
The adaptors also support function call syntax with equivalent semantics.
4
#
[ Example
: 
vector<int> ints{0,1,2,3,4,5};
auto even = [](int i){ return 0 == i % 2; };
auto square = [](int i) { return i * i; };
for (int i : ints | view::filter(even) | view::transform(square)) {
  cout << i << ' '; // prints: 0 4 16
}
assert(ranges::equal(ints | view::filter(even), view::filter(ints, even)));
— end example
 ]

24.7.1 Range adaptor objects [range.adaptor.object]

1
#
A range adaptor closure object is a unary function object that accepts a ViewableRange argument and returns a View.
For a range adaptor closure object C and an expression R such that decltype((R)) models ViewableRange, the following expressions are equivalent and yield a View:
C(R)
R | C
Given an additional range adaptor closure object D, the expression C | D is well-formed and produces another range adaptor closure object such that the following two expressions are equivalent:
R | C | D
R | (C | D)
2
#
A range adaptor object is a customization point object ([customization.point.object]) that accepts a ViewableRange as its first argument and returns a View.
3
#
If a range adaptor object accepts only one argument, then it is a range adaptor closure object.
4
#
If a range adaptor object accepts more than one argument, then the following expressions are equivalent:
adaptor(range, args...)
adaptor(args...)(range)
range | adaptor(args...)
In this case, adaptor(args...) is a range adaptor closure object.

24.7.2 Semiregular wrapper [range.semi.wrap]

1
#
Many of the types in this subclause are specified in terms of an exposition-only class template semiregular.
semiregular<T> behaves exactly like optional<T> with the following differences:
  • (1.1)
    semiregular<T> constrains its type parameter T with CopyConstructible<T> && is_­object_­v<T>.
  • (1.2)
    If T models DefaultConstructible, the default constructor of semiregular<T> is equivalent to: 
    constexpr semiregular() noexcept(is_nothrow_default_constructible_v<T>)
  : semiregular{in_place}
{ }
  • (1.3)
    If Assignable<T&, const T&> is not satisfied, the copy assignment operator is equivalent to: 
    semiregular& operator=(const semiregular& that)
  noexcept(is_nothrow_copy_constructible_v<T>)
{
  if (that) emplace(*that);
  else reset();
  return *this;
}
  • (1.4)
    If Assignable<T&, T> is not satisfied, the move assignment operator is equivalent to: 
    semiregular& operator=(semiregular&& that)
  noexcept(is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<T>)
{
  if (that) emplace(std::move(*that));
  else reset();
  return *this;
}

24.7.3 All view [range.all]

1
#
view::all returns a View that includes all elements of its Range argument.
2
#
The name view::all denotes a range adaptor object ([range.adaptor.object]).
For some subexpression E, the expression view::all(E) is expression-equivalent to:
  • (2.1)
    decay-copy(E) if the decayed type of E models View.
  • (2.2)
    Otherwise, ref_­view{E} if that expression is well-formed.
  • (2.3)
    Otherwise, subrange{E}.

    ref_view(R&) -> ref_view<R>;
}
🔗
template<not-same-as<ref_view> T> requires see below constexpr ref_view(T&& t);
2
#
Remarks: Let FUN denote the exposition-only functions 
void FUN(R&);
void FUN(R&&) = delete;
The expression in the requires-clause is equivalent to 
ConvertibleTo<T, R&> && requires { FUN(declval<T>()); }

#
split_­view takes a View and a delimiter, and splits the View into subranges on the delimiter.
The delimiter can be a single element or a View of elements.

#
[ Example
: 
string str{"the quick brown fox"};
split_view sentence{str, ' '};
for (auto word : sentence) {
  for (char ch : word)
    cout << ch;
  cout << '*';

24.7.8.6 view​::​split [range.split.adaptor]

1
#
The name view::split denotes a range adaptor object.
For some subexpressions E and F, the expression view::split(E, F) is expression-equivalent to split_­view{E, F}.

24.7.9 Counted view [range.counted]

1
#
The name view::counted denotes a customization point object.
Let E and F be expressions, and let T be decay_­t<decltype((E))>.
Then the expression view::counted(E, F) is expression-equivalent to:
  • (1.1)
    If T models Iterator and decltype((F)) models ConvertibleTo<iter_­difference_­t<T>>,
    • (1.1.1)
      subrange{E, E + static_­cast<iter_­difference_­t<T>>(F)} if T models RandomAccessIterator.
    • (1.1.2)
      Otherwise, subrange{counted_­iterator{E, F}, default_­sentinel}.
  • (1.2)
    Otherwise, view::counted(E, F) is ill-formed.
    [ Note
    :
    This case can result in substitution failure when view::counted(E, F) appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

24.7.10 Common view [range.common]

24.7.10.1 Overview [range.common.overview]

1
#
common_­view takes a View which has different types for its iterator and sentinel and turns it into a View of the same elements with an iterator and sentinel of the same type.
2
#
[ Note
:
common_­view is useful for calling legacy algorithms that expect a range's iterator and sentinel types to be the same.

[ Example
: 
// Legacy algorithm:
template<class ForwardIterator>
size_t count(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last);

template<ForwardRange R>
void my_algo(R&& r) {
  auto&& common = common_view{r};
  auto cnt = count(common.begin(), common.end());

24.7.11.3 view​::​reverse [range.reverse.adaptor]

1
#
The name view::reverse denotes a range adaptor object.
For some subexpression E, the expression view::reverse(E) is expression-equivalent to:
  • (1.1)
    If the type of E is a (possibly cv-qualified) specialization of reverse_­view, equivalent to E.base().
  • (1.2)
    Otherwise, if the type of E is cv-qualified 
    subrange<reverse_iterator<I>, reverse_iterator<I>, K>
    for some iterator type I and value K of type subrange_­kind,
    • (1.2.1)
      if K is subrange_­kind::sized, equivalent to: 
      subrange<I, I, K>(E.end().base(), E.begin().base(), E.size())
    • (1.2.2)
      otherwise, equivalent to: 
      subrange<I, I, K>(E.end().base(), E.begin().base())
    However, in either case E is evaluated only once.
  • (1.3)
    Otherwise, equivalent to reverse_­view{E}.
