The projected class template is intended for use when specifying the constraints of algorithms that accept callable objects and projections ([defns.projection]). It bundles a Readable type I and a function Proj into a new Readable type whose reference type is the result of applying Proj to the reference_t of I.
template <Readable I, IndirectRegularUnaryInvocable<I> Proj>
struct projected {
using value_type = remove_cv_t<remove_reference_t<indirect_result_of_t<Proj&(I)>>>;
indirect_result_of_t<Proj&(I)> operator*() const;
};
template <WeaklyIncrementable I, class Proj>
struct difference_type<projected<I, Proj>> {
using type = difference_type_t<I>;
};
[ Note: projected is only used to ease constraints specification. Its member function need not be defined. — end note ]
