24.7 Range adaptors [range.adaptors]

24.7.15 Reverse view [range.reverse]

24.7.15.1 Overview [range.reverse.overview]

reverse_­view takes a bidirectional view and produces another view that iterates the same elements in reverse order.
The name views​::​reverse denotes a range adaptor object ([range.adaptor.object]).
Given a subexpression E, the expression views​::​reverse(E) is expression-equivalent to:
  • If the type of E is a (possibly cv-qualified) specialization of reverse_­view, equivalent to E.base().
  • Otherwise, if the type of E is cv subrange<reverse_­iterator<I>, reverse_­iterator<I>, K> for some iterator type I and value K of type subrange_­kind,
    • if K is subrange_­kind​::​sized, equivalent to: subrange<I, I, K>(E.end().base(), E.begin().base(), E.size())
    • otherwise, equivalent to: subrange<I, I, K>(E.end().base(), E.begin().base())
    However, in either case E is evaluated only once.
  • Otherwise, equivalent to reverse_­view{E}.
[Example 1: vector<int> is {0,1,2,3,4}; reverse_view rv {is}; for (int i : rv) cout << i << ' '; // prints: 4 3 2 1 0 — end example]

24.7.15.2 Class template reverse_­view [range.reverse.view]

namespace std::ranges { template<view V> requires bidirectional_­range<V> class reverse_view : public view_interface<reverse_view<V>> { private: V base_ = V(); // exposition only public: reverse_view() = default; constexpr explicit reverse_view(V r); constexpr V base() const& requires copy_­constructible<V> { return base_; } constexpr V base() && { return std::move(base_); } constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> begin(); constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> begin() requires common_range<V>; constexpr auto begin() const requires common_range<const V>; constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> end(); constexpr auto end() const requires common_range<const V>; constexpr auto size() requires sized_­range<V> { return ranges::size(base_); } constexpr auto size() const requires sized_­range<const V> { return ranges::size(base_); } }; template<class R> reverse_view(R&&) -> reverse_view<views::all_t<R>>; }
constexpr explicit reverse_view(V base);
Effects: Initializes base_­ with std​::​move(base).
constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> begin();
Returns: make_reverse_iterator(ranges::next(ranges::begin(base_), ranges::end(base_)))
Remarks: In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the reverse_­view for use on subsequent calls.
constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> begin() requires common_range<V>; constexpr auto begin() const requires common_range<const V>;
Effects: Equivalent to: return make_­reverse_­iterator(ranges​::​end(base_­));
constexpr reverse_iterator<iterator_t<V>> end(); constexpr auto end() const requires common_range<const V>;
Effects: Equivalent to: return make_­reverse_­iterator(ranges​::​begin(base_­));
