Defined in header <ranges>
template< class T >   concept contiguous_range =     ranges::random_access_range<T> &&     std::contiguous_iterator<ranges::iterator_t<T>> &&     requires(T& t) {       { ranges::data(t) } ->         std::same_as<std::add_pointer_t<ranges::range_reference_t<T>>>;     };		(since C++20)

The contiguous_range concept is a refinement of range for which ranges::begin returns a model of contiguous_iterator and the customization point ranges::data is usable.

Semantic requirements

T models contiguous_range only if given an expression e such that decltype((e)) is T&, std::to_address(ranges::begin(e)) == ranges::data(e).

Example

Run this code

#include <array>
#include <deque>
#include <list>
#include <ranges>
#include <set>
#include <valarray>
#include <vector>
 
template<typename T> concept CR = std::ranges::contiguous_range<T>;
 
int main()
{
    int a[4];
    static_assert(
            CR<std::vector<int>> and
        not CR<std::vector<bool>> and
        not CR<std::deque<int>> and
            CR<std::valarray<int>> and
            CR<decltype(a)> and
        not CR<std::list<int>> and
        not CR<std::set<int>> and
            CR<std::array<std::list<int>,42>>
    );
}
