26.3 Range access [range.access]

26.3.13 ranges​::​data [range.prim.data]

The name ranges​::​data denotes a customization point object ([customization.point.object]).
Given a subexpression E with type T, let t be an lvalue that denotes the reified object for E.
Then:
  • If E is an rvalue and enable_borrowed_range<remove_cv_t<T>> is false, ranges​::​data(E) is ill-formed.
  • Otherwise, if T is an array type ([dcl.array]) and remove_all_extents_t<T> is an incomplete type, ranges​::​data(E) is ill-formed with no diagnostic required.
  • Otherwise, if auto(t.data()) is a valid expression of pointer to object type, ranges​::​data(E) is expression-equivalent to auto(t.data()).
  • Otherwise, if ranges​::​begin(t) is a valid expression whose type models contiguous_iterator, ranges​::​data(E) is expression-equivalent to to_address(ranges​::​begin(t)).
  • Otherwise, ranges​::​data(E) is ill-formed.
[Note 1: 
Diagnosable ill-formed cases above result in substitution failure when ranges​::​data(E) appears in the immediate context of a template instantiation.

[Note 2: 
Whenever ranges​::​data(E) is a valid expression, it has pointer to object type.
