std::common_iterator
Defined in header <iterator>
template < std:: input_iterator I, class S >
struct iterator_traits < std:: common_iterator < I, S >> ;
(since C++20)

Provides the uniform interface to the properties of the std::common_iterator type.

Example

Run this code 
#include <iterator>
#include <type_traits>
#include <vector>
int main()
{
    std::vector v{1, 2, 3, 4};
    using CV = std::common_iterator<
                    std::counted_iterator<std::vector<int>::iterator>,
                    std::default_sentinel_t>;
    CV i{std::counted_iterator{v.begin(), 3}};
    using TRCV = std::iterator_traits<decltype(i)>;
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::iterator_concept, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::iterator_category, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::value_type, int>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::difference_type,
                  std::vector<int>::difference_type>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::pointer, decltype(i.operator->())>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCV::reference, int&>());
    CV s{std::default_sentinel};
    using TRCS = std::iterator_traits<decltype(s)>;
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::iterator_concept, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::iterator_category, std::forward_iterator_tag>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::value_type, int>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::difference_type,
                  std::vector<int>::difference_type>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::pointer, decltype(s.operator->())>());
    static_assert(std::is_same<TRCS::reference, int&>());
}

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 3749 C++20 if std:: iter_difference_t < I > is not an integer type,
iterator_category was std::input_iterator_tag 		iterator_category is
undefined in this case
