concept indirectly_regular_unary_invocable =
std:: indirectly_readable < I > &&

(since C++20)

The concepts indirectly_unary_invocable and indirectly_regular_unary_invocable specify requirements for algorithms that call (regular) unary invocables as their arguments. The key difference between these concepts and std::invocable is that they are applied to the type the I references, rather than I itself.

Notes

The distinction between indirectly_unary_invocable and indirectly_regular_unary_invocable is purely semantic.

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>
#include <print>
#include <ranges>
 
struct IntWrapper
{
    int i;
 
    explicit IntWrapper(int i) : i(i) {}
    IntWrapper(IntWrapper&&) = default;
    IntWrapper& operator=(IntWrapper&&) = default;
};
 
int main()
{
    auto ints  = std::views::iota(1, 10);
    auto print = [] (IntWrapper w) { std::print("{} ", w.i); };
    auto wrap  = [] (int i) { return IntWrapper{i}; };
 
    using Proj = std::projected<decltype(ints.begin()), decltype(wrap)>;
 
    // error (evaluated to false) until P2609R3:
    // this was because 'std::iter_value_t<Proj> &' is the same as 'IntWrapper&'
    // which is not convertible to 'IntWrapper' (implicitly deleted copy ctor)
    static_assert(std::indirectly_unary_invocable<decltype(print), Proj>);
 
    // if the compile-time check above evaluates to true, then this is well-formed:
    std::ranges::for_each(ints, print, wrap);
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Defect reports

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
P2609R3 C++20 some requirements were defined in terms of std:: iter_value_t < I > &
which mishandled projections resulting in incompatibility with invocable F &
defined in terms of /*indirect-value-t*/ < I >
to correctly handle such projections
P2997R1 C++20 corresponding concepts required F & to satisfy invocable and
regular_invocable , respectively, with std:: iter_common_reference_t < I >
does not require
