std:: common_reference_with

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <concepts>
template < class T, class U >

concept common_reference_with =
std:: same_as < std:: common_reference_t < T, U > , std:: common_reference_t < U, T >> &&
std:: convertible_to < T, std:: common_reference_t < T, U >> &&

std:: convertible_to < U, std:: common_reference_t < T, U >> ;
(since C++20)

The concept common_reference_with<T, U> specifies that two types T and U share a common reference type (as computed by std::common_reference_t ) to which both can be converted.

Semantic requirements

T and U model std :: common_reference_with < T, U > only if, given equality-preserving expressions t1 , t2 , u1 and u2 such that decltype ( ( t1 ) ) and decltype ( ( t2 ) ) are both T and decltype ( ( u1 ) ) and decltype ( ( u2 ) ) are both U ,

In other words, the conversion to the common reference type must preserve equality .
