Constant buffer sequence requirements

A constant buffer sequence represents a set of memory regions that may be used as input to an operation, such as the send operation of a socket.

A type X meets the ConstBufferSequence requirements if it satisfies the requirements of Destructible (C++Std [destructible]) and CopyConstructible (C++Std [copyconstructible]), as well as the additional requirements listed below.

In the table below, x denotes a (possibly const) value of type X, and u denotes an identifier.

boost::asio::buffer_sequence_begin(x)
boost::asio::buffer_sequence_end(x)

An iterator type meeting the requirements for bidirectional iterators (C++Std [bidirectional.iterators]) whose value type is convertible to const_buffer.

X u(x);
