(4)

Computes the iterator category of the class I, if any. Users may specialize iterator_category for a program-defined type.

1) Primary template is an empty struct.
2) Specialization for pointers. If T is an object type, provides a member type type equal to ranges::random_access_iterator_tag. Otherwise, there is no member type.
3) Specialization for const-qualified types.
4) Specialization for types that define a public and accessible member type iterator_category. If T::iterator_category is the same as or derived from one of iterator category tags in namespace std, it is mapped to the corresponding tag in the namespace ranges as described below. Otherwise, provides a member type type equal to T::iterator_category.
  • If T::iterator_category is the same as or derives from std::random_access_iterator_tag, provides a member type type equal to ranges::random_access_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if T::iterator_category is the same as or derives from std::bidirectional_iterator_tag, provides a member type type equal to ranges::bidirectional_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if T::iterator_category is the same as or derives from std::forward_iterator_tag, provides a member type type equal to ranges::forward_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if T::iterator_category is the same as or derives from std::input_iterator_tag, provides a member type type equal to ranges::input_iterator_tag.
  • Otherwise, if T::iterator_category is the same as or derives from std::output_iterator_tag, there is no member type.

Helper alias template

using iterator_category_t = typename ranges::iterator_category<T>::type;
