constexprconst I& base()const&noexcept;	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr I base()&&;	(2)	(since C++20)

Returns the underlying base iterator.

1) Returns a reference to the underlying iterator.

2) Move constructs the return value from the underlying iterator.

[edit]Parameters

(none)

[edit]Return value

1) A reference to the underlying iterator.

2) An iterator move constructed from the underlying iterator.

[edit]Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

[edit]Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>#include <iostream>#include <iterator>#include <type_traits>#include <vector> int main(){std::vector<int> v{0,1,2,3,4}; std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator> reverse{v.rbegin()}; std::counted_iterator counted{reverse,3};     static_assert(std::is_same<        decltype(counted.base()),std::reverse_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator>const&>{}); std::cout<<"Print with reverse_iterator: ";for(auto r= counted.base(); r!= v.rend();++r)std::cout<<*r<<' ';std::cout<<'\n'; std::cout<<"Print with counted_iterator: ";for(; counted!=std::default_sentinel;++counted)std::cout<< counted[0]<<' ';std::cout<<'\n';}

Output:

Print with reverse_iterator: 4 3 2 1 0Print with counted_iterator: 4 3 2

[edit]Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 3391	C++20	the const version of`base` returns a copy of the underlying iterator	returns a reference
LWG 3593	C++20	the const version of`base` returns a reference but might not be noexcept	made noexcept
