Defined in header <ranges>
	(1)
template< class T > concept sized_range = ranges::range<T> && requires(T& t) { ranges::size(t); };			(since C++20) (until C++26)
template< class T > concept sized_range = ranges::approximately_sized_range<T> && requires(T& t) { ranges::size(t); };			(since C++26)
template< class > constexpr bool disable_sized_range = false;	(2)	(since C++20)

1) The sized_range concept specifies the requirements of a range(until C++26)approximately_sized_range(since C++26) type that knows its size in constant time with the size function.

2) The disable_sized_range exists to allow use of range types that provide a size function (either as a member or as a non-member) but do not in fact model sized_range. Users may specialize disable_sized_range for cv-unqualified program-defined types. Such specializations shall be usable in constant expressions and have type const bool.

Semantic requirements

1) Given an lvalue t of type std::remove_reference_t<T>, T models sized_range only if

• ranges::size(t)

• has amortized constant-time complexity,
• does not alter the value of t in a manner observable to equality-preserving expressions, and
• is equal to ranges::distance(ranges::begin(t), ranges::end(t)), and

• if ranges::iterator_t<T> models forward_iterator, ranges::size(t) is well-defined regardless of the evaluation of ranges::begin(t) (in other words, a single-pass sized range may support a call to size only before the first call to begin, but a forward range must support size at all times).

Notes

See More

disable_sized_range cannot be used to opt-out a range whose iterator and sentinel satisfy sized_sentinel_for; std::disable_sized_sentinel_for must be used instead.

disable_sized_range cannot be specialized for array types or reference types.
