std::iterator_traits<std::common_iterator>

Since C++20

Header: <iterator>

Provides the uniform interface to the properties of the std::common_iterator type.

# Declarations

template< std::input_iterator I, class S >
struct iterator_traits<std::common_iterator<I, S>>;

(since C++20)

# Example

#include <iterator>
#include <type_traits>
#include <vector>
 
int main()

    CV i{std::counted_iterator{v.begin(), 3}};
    using TRCV = std::iterator_traits<decltype(i)>;
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::iterator_concept, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
