constexpr auto data()
requires std::contiguous_iterator <ranges::iterator_t <D>>;
 (1) 
 (since C++20) 
requires std::contiguous_iterator <ranges::iterator_t <D>>;
constexpr auto data() const
 (2) 
 (since C++20) 
    requires ranges::range <const D> && 
The default implementation of data() member function obtains the address denoted by the beginning iterator via std::to_address, which is also the lowest address of the contiguous storage (implied by contiguous_iterator) referenced by the view of the derived type when the view is not empty.
1) Let 
derived be static_cast<D&>(*this). Equivalent to return std::to_address (ranges::begin (derived));.2) Same as (1), except that 
derived is static_cast<const D&>(*this).Contents
[edit] Return value
The address denoted by the beginning iterator.
[edit] Notes
Following derived types may use the default implementation of data():
- std::ranges::common_view
- std::ranges::drop_view
- std::ranges::drop_while_view
- std::ranges::ref_view
- std::ranges::subrange
- std::ranges::take_view
- std::ranges::take_while_view
Following types are derived from std::ranges::view_interface  and do not declare their own data() member function, but they cannot use the default implementation, because their iterator types never satisfy contiguous_iterator:
- std::ranges::basic_istream_view
- std::ranges::elements_view
- std::ranges::filter_view
- std::ranges::iota_view
- std::ranges::join_view
- std::ranges::lazy_split_view
- std::ranges::reverse_view
- std::ranges::split_view
- std::ranges::transform_view
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <array> #include <iostream> #include <ranges> #include <string_view> int main() { constexpr std::string_view str { "Hello, C++20!" }; std::cout << (str | std::views::drop (7)).data() << '\n'; constexpr static std::array a { 1,2,3,4,5 }; constexpr auto v { a | std::views::take (3) }; static_assert( &a[0] == v.data() ); }
Output:
C++20!
