Defined in header <ranges>

Customization point objects
template< class T > inline constexpr /*unspecified*/ istream = /*unspecified*/;	(4)	(since C++20)
Helper concepts
template< class Val, class CharT, class Traits > concept /*stream-extractable*/ =   requires(std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>& is, Val& t) {     is >> t;   };	(5)	(since C++20)

1) A range factory that generates a sequence of elements by repeatedly calling operator>>.

2-3) Convenience alias templates for character types char and wchar_t.

4) views::istream<T>(e) is expression-equivalent to (has the same effect as) ranges::basic_istream_view<T, typename U::char_type, typename U::traits_type>(e) for any suitable subexpressions e, where U is std::remove_reference_t<decltype(e)>. The program is ill-formed if U is not both publicly and unambiguously derived from std::basic_istream<typename U::char_type, typename U::traits_type>, which may result in a substitution failure.

5) The exposition-only concept /*stream-extractable*/<Val,CharT,Traits> is satisfied when lvalue of Val can be extracted from lvalue of std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>.

The iterator type of basic_istream_view is move-only: it does not meet the LegacyIterator requirements, and thus does not work with pre-C++20 algorithms.

Expression-equivalent

Expression e is expression-equivalent to expression f, if e and f have the same effects, either are both potentially-throwing or are both not potentially-throwing (i.e. noexcept(e) == noexcept(f)), and either are both constant subexpressions or are both not constant subexpressions.

Customization point objects

The name views::istream<T> denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. For exposition purposes, the cv-unqualified version of its type is denoted as __istream_fn<T>.

All instances of __istream_fn<T> are equal. The effects of invoking different instances of type __istream_fn<T> on the same arguments are equivalent, regardless of whether the expression denoting the instance is an lvalue or rvalue, and is const-qualified or not (however, a volatile-qualified instance is not required to be invocable). Thus, views::istream<T> can be copied freely and its copies can be used interchangeably.

Given a set of types Args..., if std::declval<Args>()... meet the requirements for arguments to views::istream<T> above, __istream_fn<T> models std::invocable<__istream_fn<T>, Args...>, std::invocable<const __istream_fn<T>, Args...>, std::invocable<__istream_fn<T>&, Args...>, and std::invocable<const __istream_fn<T>&, Args...>. Otherwise, no function call operator of __istream_fn<T> participates in overload resolution.

Member functions

(constructor) (C++20)	constructs a basic_istream_view (public member function)
begin (C++20)	returns an iterator (public member function)
end (C++20)	returns std::default_sentinel (public member function)
Inherited from std::ranges::view_interface
(none)	Although basic_istream_view is derived from std::ranges::view_interface, it cannot use any of inherited member functions.

std::ranges::basic_istream_view::basic_istream_view

constexpr explicit     basic_istream_view( std::basic_istream<CharT, Traits>& stream );		(since C++20)

Initializes the stored pointer to stream with std::addressof(stream), and value-initializes the stored value of Val.

std::ranges::basic_istream_view::begin

constexpr auto begin();		(since C++20)

Equivalent to *stream_ >> value_; return /*iterator*/{*this};, where stream_ is the stored pointer to stream and value_ is the stored value of Val.

std::ranges::basic_istream_view::end

constexpr std::default_sentinel_t end() const noexcept;		(since C++20)

Equivalent to return std::default_sentinel;.

Nested classes

iterator (C++20)

the iterator type of basic_istream_view, the name is exposition-only (exposition-only member class)

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <ranges>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    auto words = std::istringstream{"today is yesterday’s tomorrow"};
    for (const auto& s: std::ranges::istream_view<std::string>(words)) {
        std::cout << std::quoted(s, '/') << ' ';
    }
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    auto floats = std::istringstream{"1.1  2.2\t3.3\v4.4\f55\n66\r7.7  8.8"};
    std::ranges::copy(
        std::ranges::istream_view<float>(floats),
        std::ostream_iterator<float>{std::cout, ", "});
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

/today/ /is/ /yesterday’s/ /tomorrow/
1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 55, 66, 7.7, 8.8,

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
P2325R3	C++20	default constructor was provided as view must be default_initializable	removed along with the requirement
LWG 3568	C++20	P2325R3 accidentally made the stored value default-initialized	restored to value-initialization
P2432R1	C++20	ranges::istream_view was a function template and did not follow the naming convention	made an alias template; customization point objects added
