Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4901.

  1. Modify [range.iota.iterator], class iota_view::iterator synopsis, as indicated:

    namespace std::ranges {
      template<weakly_incrementable W, semiregular Bound>
        requires weakly-equality-comparable-with<W, Bound> && copyable<W>
      struct iota_view<W, Bound>::iterator {
        […]
        using iterator_category = input_iterator_tag; // present only if W models incrementable and 
                                                      // IOTA-DIFF-T(W) is an integral type
        using value_type = W;
        using difference_type = IOTA-DIFF-T(W);
        […]
      };
    }

[ 2022-07-25 Approved at July 2022 virtual plenary. Status changed: Ready → WP. ]

[ 2022-07-15; LWG telecon: move to Ready ]

Date: 2022-03-15.00:00:00

[ 2022-03-04; Reflector poll ]

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

[ 2022-02-07; Daniel comments ]

As requested by LWG 3376 and wording implemented by P2393R1, integer-class types are no longer required to have class type.

Previous resolution [SUPERSEDED]:

This wording is relative to N4901.

  1. Modify [range.iota.iterator], class iota_view::iterator synopsis, as indicated:

    namespace std::ranges {
      template<weakly_incrementable W, semiregular Bound>
        requires weakly-equality-comparable-with<W, Bound> && copyable<W>
      struct iota_view<W, Bound>::iterator {
        […]
        using iterator_category = input_iterator_tag; // present only if W models incrementable and 
                                                      // IOTA-DIFF-T(W) is not a class type
        using value_type = W;
        using difference_type = IOTA-DIFF-T(W);
        […]
      };
    }

[range.iota.iterator] defines

using iterator_category = input_iterator_tag; // present only if W models incrementable

but when difference_type is an integer-class type the iterator does not meet the Cpp17InputIterator requirements.
