Helper classes

common_type<std::basic_const_iterator> (C++23)

 

template< /*not-a-const-iterator*/ CI >   requires /*constant-iterator*/<CI> &&       std::convertible_to<Iter const&, CI> constexpr operator CI() const &;	(1)	(since C++23)
template< /*not-a-const-iterator*/ CI >   requires /*constant-iterator*/<CI> &&       std::convertible_to<Iter, CI> constexpr operator CI() &&;	(2)	(since C++23)

Returns the converted constant iterator to which an underlying iterator current can be explicitly or implicitly convertible.

CI satisfies the exposition-only concept /*not-a-const-iterator*/ if and only if it's not a specialization of basic_const_iterator.

Return value

1) current

2) std::move(current)

Example

Run this code

#include <iterator>
#include <ranges>
#include <vector>
 
void foo(std::vector<int>::const_iterator) {}
 
int main()
{
    auto v = std::vector<int>();
    {
        // ranges::cbegin below returns vector<int>::const_iterator
        auto i1 = std::ranges::cbegin(v);
        foo(i1); // okay
    }
 
    auto t = v | std::views::take_while([](int const x) { return x < 100; });
    {
        // ranges::cbegin below returns basic_const_iterator<vector<int>::iterator>
        auto i2 = std::ranges::cbegin(t);
        foo(i2); // error until P2836R1
    }
}
