For the definition of /*indirectly-binary-right-foldable*/, see this page.

Right-folds the elements of the source range, that is, returns the result of evaluation of the chain expression:
f(x1, f(x2, ...f(xn-1, xn))), where x1, x2, ..., xn are elements of the source range.

1) The source range is [firstlast).
2) The source range is r.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the source range
r - the source range
f - the binary function object

Return value

An std::optional object containing the right-fold result, or does not contain a value if the source range is empty.

Notes

The following table compares all constrained folding algorithms. U below is the fold result type, it is the decayed type of F's result type.

Fold function template Starts from Initial value Return type
ranges::fold_left left init U
ranges::fold_left_first left first element std::optional<U>
ranges::fold_right right init U
ranges::fold_right_last right last element std::optional<U>
ranges::fold_left_with_iter left init

(1) ranges::in_value_result<I, U>

(2) ranges::in_value_result<BR, U>,

where BR is ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>

ranges::fold_left_first_with_iter left first element

(1) ranges::in_value_result<I, std::optional<U>>

(2) ranges::in_value_result<BR, std::optional<U>>

where BR is ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <ranges>
#include <utility>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    auto v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
    std::vector<std::string> vs {"A", "B", "C", "D"};
    
    auto r1 = std::ranges::fold_right_last(v.begin(), v.end(), std::plus<>()); // (1)
    std::cout << "*r1: " << *r1 << '\n';
    
    auto r2 = std::ranges::fold_right_last(vs, std::plus<>()); // (2)
    std::cout << "*r2: " << *r2 << '\n';
    
    // Use a program defined function object (lambda-expression):
    auto r3 = std::ranges::fold_right_last(v, [](int x, int y) { return x + y + 99; });
    std::cout << "*r3: " << *r3 << '\n';
    
    // Get the product of the std::pair::second of all pairs in the vector:
    std::vector<std::pair<char, float>> data {{'A', 3.f}, {'B', 3.5f}, {'C', 4.f}};
    auto r4 = std::ranges::fold_right_last
    (
        data | std::ranges::views::values, std::multiplies<>()
    );
    std::cout << "*r4: " << *r4 << '\n';
}

Output:

*r1: 36
*r2: ABCD
*r3: 729
*r4: 42
