24.7.10 Join view [range.join]

24.7.10.1 Overview [range.join.overview]

join_­view flattens a view of ranges into a view.
The name views​::​join denotes a range adaptor object ([range.adaptor.object]).
Given a subexpression E, the expression views​::​join(E) is expression-equivalent to join_­view{E}.
[Example
:
vector<string> ss{"hello", " ", "world", "!"};
join_view greeting{ss};
for (char ch : greeting)
  cout << ch;                                   // prints: hello world!
— end example

iterator​::​iterator_­concept is defined as follows:
  • If ref-is-glvalue is true and Base and range_­reference_­t<Base> each model bidirectional_­range, then iterator_­concept denotes bidirectional_­iterator_­tag.
  • Otherwise, if ref-is-glvalue is true and Base and range_­reference_­t<Base> each model forward_­range, then iterator_­concept denotes forward_­iterator_­tag.
  • Otherwise, iterator_­concept denotes input_­iterator_­tag.
iterator​::​iterator_­category is defined as follows:
  • Let OUTERC denote iterator_­traits<iterator_­t<Base>>​::​iterator_­category, and let INNERC denote iterator_­traits<iterator_­t<range_­reference_­t<Base>>>​::​iterator_­category.
  • If ref-is-glvalue is true and OUTERC and INNERC each model derived_­from<bidirectional_­iterator_­tag>, iterator_­category denotes bidirectional_­iterator_­tag.
  • Otherwise, if ref-is-glvalue is true and OUTERC and INNERC each model derived_­from<forward_­iterator_­tag>, iterator_­category denotes forward_­iterator_­tag.
  • Otherwise, if OUTERC and INNERC each model derived_­from<input_­iterator_­tag>, iterator_­category denotes input_­iterator_­tag.
  • Otherwise, iterator_­category denotes output_­iterator_­tag.
iterator​::​difference_­type denotes the type:
common_type_t<
  range_difference_t<Base>,
  range_difference_t<range_reference_t<Base>>>
join_­view iterators use the satisfy function to skip over empty inner ranges.
constexpr void satisfy(); // exposition only

if constexpr (ref-is-glvalue)
  inner_ = iterator_t<range_reference_t<Base>>();
constexpr iterator(Parent& parent, iterator_t<Base> outer);
Effects: Initializes outer_­ with std​::​move(outer) and parent_­ with addressof(parent); then calls satisfy().

Effects: Equivalent to: ++*this.

auto tmp = *this;
++*this;
return tmp;
constexpr iterator& operator--() requires ref-is-glvalue && bidirectional_­range<Base> && bidirectional_­range<range_reference_t<Base>> && common_range<range_reference_t<Base>>;
Effects: Equivalent to:

return *this;

friend constexpr void iter_swap(const iterator& x, const iterator& y) noexcept(noexcept(ranges::iter_swap(x.inner_­, y.inner_­)));
