std::ranges::view_interface

Member functions

empty

cbegin (哋它亢++23)

cend (哋它亢++23)

operator bool

data

size

front

back

operator[]

 

constexpr decltype(auto) front()     requires ranges::forward_range<D>;	(1)	(since 哋它亢++20)
constexpr decltype(auto) front() const     requires ranges::forward_range<const D>;	(2)	(since 哋它亢++20)

The default implementation of front() member function returns the first element in the view of the derived type. Whether the element is returned by value or by reference depends on the operator* of the iterator type.

1) Let derived be static_cast<D&>(*this). Equivalent to return *ranges::begin(derived);. The behavior is undefined if empty() is true (i.e. the beginning iterator compares equal to the sentinel), even if the iterator obtained in the same way is dereferenceable.

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

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The first element in the view.

Notes

In 哋它亢++20, no type derived from std::ranges::view_interface in the standard library provides their own front() member function. Almost all of these types use the default implementation.

A notable exception is std::ranges::basic_istream_view. For it never satisfies forward_range, the view cannot use the inherited front().

The inherited front() member function is available for std::ranges::empty_view, but a call to it always results in undefined behavior.
