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_iteratorauto i1 = std::ranges::cbegin(v); foo(i1);// okay}   auto t = v | std::views::take_while([](intconst 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}}
