std::ranges::view_interface<D>::operator[] - cppreference.com

From cppreference.com

template<ranges::random_access_rangeR=D>constexprdecltype(auto)operator[](ranges::range_difference_t<R>n); (1) (since C++20)template<ranges::random_access_rangeR=constD>constexprdecltype(auto)operator[](ranges::range_difference_t<R>n)const; (2) (since C++20)The default implementation of operator[] member function obtains the element at the specified offset relative to the beginning iterator, reusing the operator[] of the iterator type.

1) Let derived be static_cast<D&>(*this). Equivalent to returnranges::begin(derived)[n];.

2) Same as (1), except that derived is static_cast<constD&>(*this).

Parameters

n - position of the element to return Return value

The element at offset n relative to the beginning iterator.

Notes

In C++20, no type derived from

std::ranges::view_interface

in the standard library provides their own operator[] member function.

However, following derived types cannot use the default implementations, as they never satisfy

random_access_range

:

std::ranges::basic_istream_view

std::ranges::filter_view

std::ranges::join_view

std::ranges::lazy_split_view

std::ranges::split_view

The inherited operator[] member function is available for

std::ranges::empty_view

, but a call to it always results in undefined behavior.
