Defined in header <algorithm>
template< class I1, class I2, class O > struct in_in_out_result;		(since C++20)

ranges::in_in_out_result is a class template that provides a way to store three iterators as a single unit.

This class template has no base classes or declared members other than those shown below. Thus it is suitable for use with structured bindings.

All special member functions of this class template are implicitly declared, which makes specializations be aggregate classes, and propagate triviality, potentially-throwing-ness, and constexpr-ness of corresponding operations on data members.

Template parameters

I1, I2, O

-

the types of the iterators that the ranges::in_in_out_result stores.

Data members

Member name	Definition
in1	a value (that is supposed to be an iterator) of type I1. (public member object)
in2	a value (that is supposed to be an iterator) of type I2. (public member object)
out	a value (that is supposed to be an iterator) of type O. (public member object)

All these members are declared with [[no_unique_address]] attribute.

Member functions

std::ranges::in_in_out_result::operator in_in_out_result<II1, II2, OO>

template<class II1, class II2, class OO> requires std::convertible_to<const I1&, II1> &&          std::convertible_to<const I2&, II2> &&          std::convertible_to<const O&, OO> constexpr operator in_in_out_result<II1, II2, OO>() const &;	(1)
template<class II1, class II2, class OO> requires std::convertible_to<I1, II1> &&          std::convertible_to<I2, II2> &&          std::convertible_to<O, OO> constexpr operator in_in_out_result<II1, II2, OO>() &&;	(2)

Converts *this to the result by constructing every data member of the result from the corresponding member of *this.

1) Equivalent to return {in1, in2, out};.

2) Equivalent to return {std::move(in1), std::move(in2), std::move(out)};.

Standard library

The following standard library functions use ranges::in_in_out_result as the return type:

Algorithm functions
ranges::transform (C++20)	applies a function to a range of elements (algorithm function object)
ranges::merge (C++20)	merges two sorted ranges (algorithm function object)
ranges::set_union (C++20)	computes the union of two sets (algorithm function object)
ranges::set_intersection (C++20)	computes the intersection of two sets (algorithm function object)
ranges::set_symmetric_difference (C++20)	computes the symmetric difference between two sets (algorithm function object)

Synopsis

namespace std::ranges
{
    template<class I1, class I2, class O>
    struct in_in_out_result
    {
        [[no_unique_address]] I1 in1;
        [[no_unique_address]] I2 in2;
        [[no_unique_address]] O  out;
 
        template<class II1, class II2, class OO>
        requires std::convertible_to<const I1&, II1> &&
                 std::convertible_to<const I2&, II2> &&
                 std::convertible_to<const O&, OO>
        constexpr operator in_in_out_result<II1, II2, OO>() const &
        {
            return {in1, in2, out};
        }
 
        template<class II1, class II2, class OO>
        requires std::convertible_to<I1, II1> &&
                 std::convertible_to<I2, II2> &&
                 std::convertible_to<O, OO>
        constexpr operator in_in_out_result<II1, II2, OO>() &&
        {
            return {std::move(in1), std::move(in2), std::move(out)};
        }
    };
}

Notes

Each standard library algorithm that uses this family of return types declares a new alias type, e.g. using merge_result = in_in_out_result<I1, I2, O>;.

The names for such aliases are formed by adding the suffix "_result" to the algorithm's name. So, the return type of std::ranges::merge can be named as std::ranges::merge_result.

Unlike std::pair and std::tuple, this class template has data members of meaningful names.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <ranges>
 
void print(auto rem, auto first, auto last)
{
    for (std::cout << rem << ": "; first != last; ++first)
        std::cout << *first << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    constexpr static auto in1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5};
    constexpr static auto in2 = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
    std::array<int, std::size(in1) + std::size(in2)> out;
 
    const auto result = std::ranges::merge(in1, in2, out.begin());
    print("in1", in1.begin(), result.in1);
    print("in2", in2.begin(), result.in2);
    print("out", out.begin(), result.out);
}

Output:

in1: 1 2 3 4 5 5 
in2: 3 4 5 6 7 
out: 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 6 7
