Bug ID: 100621 Summary: ranges::reverse_view fails to meet its complexity requirements Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: hewillk at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Hi, in ranges#L3230, the _S_needs_cached_begin of reverse_view is defined as: static constexpr bool _S_needs_cached_begin = !common_range<_Vp> && !random_access_range<_Vp>; This definition seems incorrect, consider (https://godbolt.org/z/xfT5E4zK4): auto r = std::views::iota(0) | std::views::take(42) | std::views::drop(3); using V = decltype(r); static_assert(std::ranges::random_access_range<V>); static_assert(!std::ranges::common_range<V>); This r is not a common_range but a random_access_range, so the value of _S_needs_cached_begin is false, and because the following two asserts fail, the complexity of ranges::next is O(n): using I = decltype(r.begin()); using S = decltype(r.end()); static_assert(!std::assignable_from<I&, S>); static_assert(!std::sized_sentinel_for<S, I>); auto rr = r | std::views::reverse; This makes rr.begin() fails to meet its complexity requirements in [range.reverse.view#3]: "Remarks: In order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, this function caches the result within the reverse_view for use on subsequent calls.".
