constexpr auto size() requires ranges::forward_range<D> && std::sized_sentinel_for<ranges::sentinel_t<D>, ranges::iterator_t<D>>;	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr auto size() const requires ranges::forward_range<const D> && std::sized_sentinel_for<ranges::sentinel_t<const D>, ranges::iterator_t<const D>>;	(2)	(since C++20)

The default implementation of size() member function obtains the size of the range by calculating the difference between the sentinel and the beginning iterator.

Return value

1) to-unsigned-like (ranges::end(static_cast<D&>(this)) -
                     ranges::begin(static_cast<D&>(this))).

2) to-unsigned-like (ranges::end(static_cast<const D&>(this)) -
                     ranges::begin(static_cast<const D&>(this))).

Notes

Following derived types may use the default implementation of size():

• std::ranges::drop_while_view

Following types are derived from ranges::view_interface and do not declare their own size() member function, but they cannot use the default implementation, because their iterator and sentinel types never satisfy sized_sentinel_for:

• ranges::basic_istream_view
• std::ranges::filter_view
• ranges::join_view
• ranges::lazy_split_view
• ranges::split_view
• std::ranges::take_while_view

Defect reports

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

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3646	C++20	the default implementations of size functions returned a signed type	they return unsigned type
