C++ named requirements
 

The named requirements listed on this page are the named requirements used in the normative text of the C++ standard to define the expectations of the standard library.

The burden to ensure that library templates are instantiated with template arguments that satisfy these requirements is on the programmer. Failure to do so may result in very complex compiler diagnostics.

Some of these requirements are formalized in C++20 using the concepts language feature.

Contents

Basic

specifies that an object of the type can be default constructed
(named requirement)
specifies that an object of the type can be constructed from rvalue
(named requirement)
specifies that an object of the type can be constructed from lvalue
(named requirement)
specifies that an object of the type can be assigned from rvalue
(named requirement)
specifies that an object of the type can be assigned from lvalue
(named requirement)
specifies that an object of the type can be destroyed
(named requirement)

Type properties

Note: the standard does not define named requirements with names specified in this subcategory.
These are type categories defined by the core language. They are included here as named requirements only for consistency.
object types that are not array types or class types
(named requirement)
(deprecated in C++20)
POD (Plain Old Data) types, compatible with C struct
(named requirement)
objects of these types can maintain their values after copying their underlying bytes
(named requirement)
objects of these types can be trivially constructed and copied
(named requirement)
these types are useful for communicating with code written in other programming languages
(named requirement)
objects of these types can be implicitly created, and their lifetimes can be implicitly started
(named requirement)

Library-wide

boolean operations (operator&&, operator||, and operator!) have usual semantics
(named requirement)
operator== is an equivalence relation
(named requirement)
operator< is a strict weak ordering relation
(named requirement)
can be swapped with an unqualified non-member function call swap()
(named requirement)
a LegacyIterator that dereferences to a Swappable type
(named requirement)
a pointer-like type supporting a null value
(named requirement)
(C++11)
a FunctionObject that for inputs with different values has a low probability of giving the same output
(named requirement)
a class type that contains allocation information
(named requirement)
an object that can be called with the function call syntax
(named requirement)
a type for which the invoke operation is defined
(named requirement)
a FunctionObject that returns a value convertible to bool for one argument without modifying it
(named requirement)
a FunctionObject that returns a value convertible to bool for two arguments without modifying them
(named requirement)
a BinaryPredicate that establishes an ordering relation
(named requirement)

Container

data structure that allows element access using iterators
(named requirement)
container using bidirectional iterators

(named requirement)
container that stores elements by associating them to keys
(named requirement)
container that stores elements stored in buckets by associating them to keys
(named requirement)
Container element
element can be default-constructed in uninitialized storage
(named requirement)
element can be copy-constructed in uninitialized storage
(named requirement)
element can be move-constructed in uninitialized storage
(named requirement)
element can be constructed in uninitialized storage

Iterator

general concept to access data within some data structure
(named requirement)
iterator that can be used to read data
