template<classT>concept/*dereferenceable*/=/* see below */; (7)(exposition only*)template<std::indirectly_readableT>using/*indirect-value-t*/=/* see below */; (8)(exposition only*)Compute the associated types of an iterator.

1) Computes the

value type

of T.

If std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>> is not specialized, then std::iter_value_t<T> is std::indirectly_readable_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::value_type.

Otherwise, it is std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::value_type.

2) Computes the reference type of T.

3) Computes the const reference type of T.

4) Computes the

difference type

of T.

If std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>> is not specialized, then std::iter_difference_t<T> is std::incrementable_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::difference_type.

Otherwise, it is std::iterator_traits<std::remove_cvref_t<T>>::difference_type.

5) Computes the rvalue reference type of T. The constraint on this alias template is satisfied if and only if the expression ranges::iter_move(std::declval<T&>()) is valid and its type is not (possibly cv-qualified) void.

6) Computes the common reference type of T. This is the common reference type between its reference type and an lvalue reference to its value type.

7) The exposition-only concept dereferenceable is satisfied if and only if the expression *std::declval<T&>() is valid and its type is not (possibly cv-qualified) void.

8) The exposition-only alias template indirect-value-t denotes the following:

std::invoke_result_t<Proj&,/*indirect-value-t*/<I>> if T is the same as std::projected<I,Proj> for some types I and Proj.

Otherwise, std::iter_value_t<T>&.

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior

P2609R3

C++20 std::iter_common_reference_t was defined in terms
of std::iter_value_t<T>& which incorrectly handled

std::projected

types that project into rvalue reference types defined in terms of
/*indirect-value-t*/<T>
