Hi,
I've had this question for a long time, but I still haven't seen others asked the same question.
I wonder what's the rationale for range adaptor holding an iterator_range, instead of storing the underlying range (by reference when the range is a container) and calculating begin() and end() on the fly.
For C++11 code, it's not unusual to store the temporary expression aside and use it more than once.
E.g.
vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3};
auto view = v | filtered(...);
do_something(view);
v.push_back(4); // X
do_something(view);
Above code is broken since 'v''s iterator is invalidated after X.
Could anybody shed some light on this matter?
