### 3590. `split_view::base() const &` is overconstrained

Section: 26.7.17.2 [range.split.view] Status: WP Submitter: Tim Song Opened: 2021-09-13 Last modified: 2021-10-14

Discussion:

Unlike every other range adaptor, `split_view::base() const &` is constrained on `copyable<V>` instead of `copy_constructible<V>`.

Since this function just performs a copy construction, there is no reason to require all of `copyable` — `copy_constructible` is sufficient.

[2021-09-24; Reflector poll]

Set status to Tentatively Ready after eight votes in favour during reflector poll.

[2021-10-14 Approved at October 2021 virtual plenary. Status changed: Voting → WP.]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4892.

1. Modify 26.7.17.2 [range.split.view], class template `split_view` synopsis, as indicated:

   >     namespace std::ranges {
   >       template<forward_range V, forward_range Pattern>
   >         requires view<V> && view<Pattern> &&
   >                  indirectly_comparable<iterator_t<V>, iterator_t<Pattern>, ranges::equal_to>
   >       class split_view : public view_interface<split_view<V, Pattern>> {
   >       private:
   >         […]
   >       public:
   >         […]

   >         constexpr V base() const& requires copyablecopy_constructible<V> { return base_; }
   >         constexpr V base() && { return std::move(base_); }

   >         […]
   >       };
