std::ranges::view_interface<D>::back

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | ranges‎ | view interface
Ranges library
Range adaptors
constexpr decltype( auto ) back( )
    requires ranges::bidirectional_range <D> && ranges::common_range <D> ;
(1) (since C++20)
constexpr decltype( auto ) back( ) const
    requires ranges::bidirectional_range < const D> && ranges::common_range < const D> ;
(2) (since C++20)

The default implementation of back() member function returns the last element in the view of the derived type. Whether the element is returned by value or by reference depends on the operator*

1) Let derived be static_cast <D& > ( *this) . Equivalent to return * ranges::prev ( ranges::end (derived) ) ; . The behavior is undefined if empty() is true
2) Same as (1), except that derived is static_cast < const D& > ( *this)

Parameters

(none)

Return value

The last element in the view.

Notes

In C++20, no type derived from std::ranges::view_interface in the standard library provides their own back() member function.

However, following derived types cannot use the default implementations, as they never satisfy neither bidirectional_range nor common_range

The inherited back() member function is available for std::ranges::empty_view, but a call to it always results in undefined behavior.
