Defined in header <iterator>
template<class I>     concept incrementable =         std::regular<I> &&         std::weakly_incrementable<I> &&         requires(I i) {             { i++ } -> std::same_as<I>;         };		(since C++20)

This concept specifies requirements on types that can be incremented with the pre- and post-increment operators, whose increment operations are equality-preserving, and the type is std::equality_comparable.

Unlike with std::weakly_incrementable, which only support single-pass algorithms, multi-pass one-directional algorithms can be used with types that model std::incrementable.

Semantic requirements

I models std::incrementable only if given any two incrementable objects a and b of type I:

• bool(a == b) implies bool(a++ == b), and
• bool(a == b) implies bool(((void)a++, a) == ++b)

Equality preservation

An expression is equality preserving if it results in equal outputs given equal inputs.

• The inputs to an expression consist of its operands.
• The outputs of an expression consist of its result and all operands modified by the expression (if any).

In specification of standard concepts, operands are defined as the largest subexpressions that include only:

• an id-expression, and
• invocations of std::move, std::forward, and std::declval.

The cv-qualification and value category of each operand is determined by assuming that each template type parameter denotes a cv-unqualified complete non-array object type.

Every expression required to be equality preserving is further required to be stable: two evaluations of such an expression with the same input objects must have equal outputs absent any explicit intervening modification of those input objects.

Unless noted otherwise, every expression used in a requires-expression is required to be equality preserving and stable, and the evaluation of the expression may modify only its non-constant operands. Operands that are constant must not be modified.
