Returns an iterator to the first element of the const-qualified argument.

Returns a constant iterator to the first element of the argument.

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::cbegin is expression-equivalent to ranges::begin(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::cbegin is expression-equivalent to:

In all other cases, a call to ranges::cbegin 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::cbegin denotes a customization point object, which is a const function object of a literal semiregular class type. For exposition purposes, the cv-unqualified version of its type is denoted as __cbegin_fn.

All instances of __cbegin_fn are equal. The effects of invoking different instances of type __cbegin_fn on the same arguments are equivalent, regardless of whether the expression denoting the instance is an lvalue or rvalue, and is const-qualified or not (however, a volatile-qualified instance is not required to be invocable). Thus, ranges::cbegin can be copied freely and its copies can be used interchangeably.

Given a set of types Args..., if std::declval<Args>()... meet the requirements for arguments to ranges::cbegin above, __cbegin_fn models

Otherwise, no function call operator of __cbegin_fn participates in overload resolution.

[edit] Notes

For an lvalue range e of type T, ranges::cbegin(e) is equivalent to

ranges::begin(std::as_const(e)).

(since C++23)

[edit] Example

#include <cassert>
#include <ranges>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector v{3, 1, 4};
    auto vi = std::ranges::cbegin(v);
    assert(3 == *vi);
    ++vi; // OK, constant-iterator object is mutable
    assert(1 == *vi);
    // *vi = 13; // Error: constant-iterator points to an immutable element
 
    int a[]{3, 1, 4};
    auto ai = std::ranges::cbegin(a); // cbegin works with C-arrays as well
    assert(3 == *ai and *(ai + 1) == 1);
    // *ai = 13; // Error: read-only variable is not assignable
}
