Defined in header <iterator>
template< std::input_iterator I, class S > struct iterator_traits<std::common_iterator<I, S>>;		(since C++20)

Provides the uniform interface to the properties of the std::common_iterator type.

Member types

Member type	Definition
iterator_concept	std::forward_iterator_tag, if I models std::forward_iterator; std::input_iterator_tag otherwise
iterator_category	std::forward_iterator_tag, if the std::iterator_traits<I>::iterator_category is valid and denotes a type that models std::derived_from<std::forward_iterator_tag>; std::input_iterator_tag otherwise
value_type	std::iter_value_t<I>
difference_type	std::iter_difference_t<I>
pointer	decltype(c.operator->()), if it is well-formed, where c is an lvalue of type const std::common_iterator<I, S>; void otherwise.
reference	std::iter_reference_t<I>

Example

Run this code

#include <vector>
#include <iterator>
#include <type_traits>
 
int main() {
    std::vector v{1,2,3,4};
    using CV = std::common_iterator<
                    std::counted_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator>,
                    std::default_sentinel_t>;
    CV i { std::counted_iterator { v.begin(), 3 } };
    using TRCV = std::iterator_traits<decltype(i)>;
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::iterator_concept, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::iterator_category, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::value_type, int>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::difference_type, std::vector<int>::difference_type>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::pointer, decltype(i.operator->())>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::reference, int&>());
 
    CV s { std::default_sentinel };
    using TRCS = std::iterator_traits<decltype(s)>;
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::iterator_concept, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::iterator_category, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::value_type, int>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::difference_type, std::vector<int>::difference_type>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::pointer, decltype(s.operator->())>());
