Defined in header <iterator>
inline namespace /* unspecified */ {

(customization point object)
Call signature
template< class T >

    requires /* see below */

constexpr /* see below */ auto crbegin( T&& t );
(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first element of the const-qualified argument that is treated as a reversed sequence.

(until C++23)

Returns a constant iterator to the first element of the argument that is treated as a reversed sequence.

(since C++23)

Let CT be

  • const std::remove_reference_t<T>& if the argument is an lvalue (i.e. T is an lvalue reference type),
  • const T otherwise.

A call to ranges::crbegin is expression-equivalent to ranges::rbegin(static_cast<CT&&>(t)).

(until C++23)

If the argument is an lvalue or ranges::enable_borrowed_range<std::remove_cv_t<T>> is true, then a call to ranges::crbegin is expression-equivalent to:

In all other cases, a call to ranges::crbegin is ill-formed, which can result in substitution failure when the call appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

(since C++23)

The return type models std::input_or_output_iterator and constant-iterator(since C++23) in all cases.

Customization point objects

The name ranges::crbegin denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. See CustomizationPointObject for details.

[edit] Example

#include <cassert>
#include <iterator>
#include <span>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{3, 1, 4};
    auto vi = std::ranges::crbegin(v);
    assert(*vi == 4);
    ++vi; // OK, iterator object is mutable
    assert(*vi == 1);
    // *vi = 13; // Error: underlying element is read-only
 
    int a[]{-5, 10, 15};
    auto ai = std::ranges::crbegin(a);
    assert(*ai == 15);
 
    // auto x_x = std::ranges::crbegin(std::vector<int>{6, 6, 6});
    // ill-formed: the argument is an rvalue (see Notes ↑)
 
    auto si = std::ranges::crbegin(std::span{a}); // OK
    assert(*si == 15);
    static_assert
    (
        std::ranges::enable_borrowed_range<std::remove_cv_t<decltype(std::span{a})>>
    );
}
