According to [view.interface], non-const and const overloaded data functions are defined as follows:
template<class D>
requires is_class_v<D> && same_as<D, remove_cv_t<D>>
class view_interface : public view_base {
private:
constexpr D& derived() noexcept { // exposition only
return static_cast<D&>(*this);
}
constexpr const D& derived() const noexcept { // exposition only
return static_cast<const D&>(*this);
}
public:
constexpr auto data() requires contiguous_iterator<iterator_t<D>> {
return to_address(ranges::begin(derived()));
}
constexpr auto data() const
requires range<const D> && contiguous_iterator<iterator_t<const D>> {
return to_address(ranges::begin(derived()));
}
};
Why does data() const need to additionally satisfy that const D is a ranges::range?
Isn't iterator_t<const D> already restricted so that const D must be a ranges::range?
What is the real purpose of requires range<const D> here? Is there a situation where D is a ranges::range and const D is not a ranges::range?
