std::projected

Defined in header <iterator>
template< std::indirectly_readable I,
          std::indirectly_regular_unary_invocable<I> Proj >
struct projected {
    using value_type = std::remove_cvref_t<std::indirect_result_t<Proj&, I>>;
    std::indirect_result_t<Proj&, I> operator*() const; // not defined
};
(1) (since C++20)
template< std::weakly_incrementable I, class Proj >
struct incrementable_traits<std::projected<I, Proj>> {
    using difference_type = std::iter_difference_t<I>;
};
(2) (since C++20)
1) Class template projected combines an indirectly_readable type I and a callable object type Proj into a new indirectly_readable type whose reference type is the result of applying Proj to the std::iter_reference_t<I>.
2) This specialization of std::incrementable_traits makes std::projected<I, Proj> a weakly_incrementable type when I is also a weakly_incrementable type.

projected is used only to constrain algorithms that accept callable objects and projections, and hence its operator*() is not defined.

Template parameters

I - an indirectly readable type
Proj - projection applied to a dereferenced I
