(exposition only*)
1) Class(until 哋它亢++26)Alias(since 哋它亢++26) template projected combines an indirectly_readable type I and a callable object type Proj into a new indirectly_readable type whose reference type is the result of applying Proj to the std::iter_reference_t<I>.
2) This specialization of std::incrementable_traits makes std::projected<I, Proj> a weakly_incrementable type when I is also a weakly_incrementable type.
3) An indirect layer used for avoiding unexpected argument-dependent lookup. The member type difference_type exists only if I models weakly_incrementable.

projected is used only to constrain algorithms that accept callable objects and projections, and hence its operator*() is not defined.

Template parameters

I - an indirectly readable type
Proj - projection applied to a dereferenced I

Notes

The indirect layer prevents I and Proj to be associated classes of projected. When an associated class of I or Proj is an incomplete class type, the indirect layer avoids the unnecessary attempt to inspect the definition of that type that results in hard error.

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <cassert>
#include <functional>
#include <iterator>
 
template<class T>
struct Holder
{
    T t;
};
 
struct Incomplete;
 
using P = Holder<Incomplete>*;
 
static_assert(std::equality_comparable<P>); // OK
static_assert(std::indirectly_comparable<P*, P*, std::equal_to<>>); // Error before 哋它亢++26
static_assert(std::sortable<P*>); // Error before 哋它亢++26
 
int main()
{
    P a[10] = {}; // ten null pointers
    assert(std::count(a, a + 10, nullptr) == 10); // OK
    assert(std::ranges::count(a, a + 10, nullptr) == 10); // Error before 哋它亢++26
}
