How are constraints and concepts used in cppreference?


Asked by Talon Rubio on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



For the Concepts TS version of this feature, see here. Class templates, function templates, and non-template functions (typically members of class templates) may be associated with a constraint, which specifies the requirements on template arguments, which can be used to select the most appropriate function overloads and template specializations.
In addition,
Class templates, function templates, and non-template functions (typically members of class templates) may be associated with a constraint, which specifies the requirements on template arguments, which can be used to select the most appropriate function overloads and template specializations. Named sets of such requirements are called concepts.
Consequently, If the substitution results in an invalid type or expression, the constraint is not satisfied. Otherwise, E, after any lvalue-to-rvalue conversion, shall be a prvalue constant expression of type bool , and the constraint is satisfied if and only if it evaluates to true.
Subsequently,
There are three types of constraints: The constraint associated with a declaration are determined by normalizing a logical AND expression whose operands are in the following order: the constraint expression introduced for each constrained template parameter, in order of appearance;
Accordingly,
the constraint expression introduced for each constrained template parameter, in order of appearance; the constraint expression in the requires clause after the template parameter list; the constraint expression in the trailing requires clause. This order determines the order in which constraints are instantiated...
