23.5.6.1 Class template counted_­iterator [counted.iterator]

1
#
Class template counted_­iterator is an iterator adaptor with the same behavior as the underlying iterator except that it keeps track of the distance to the end of its range.
It can be used together with default_­sentinel in calls to generic algorithms to operate on a range of N elements starting at a given position without needing to know the end position a priori.

[Example 1: list<string> s; // populate the list s with at least 10 strings vector<string> v; // copies 10 strings into v: ranges::copy(counted_iterator(s.begin(), 10), default_sentinel, back_inserter(v)); — end example]

#
Two values i1 and i2 of types counted_­iterator<I1> and counted_­iterator<I2> refer to elements of the same sequence if and only if next(i1.base(), i1.count()) and next(i2.base(), i2.count()) refer to the same (possibly past-the-end) element.
