<h1>Generator Iterator Adaptor</h1>
Defined in header <a href="../../boost/generator_iterator.hpp">boost/generator_iterator.hpp</a>
<p>
The generator iterator adaptor makes it easier to create custom input
iterators from 0-ary functions and function objects. The adaptor
takes a
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Generator.html">Generator</a>
and creates a model of
<a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/InputIterator.html">Input Iterator</a>.
Each increment retrieves an item from the generator and makes it
available to be retrieved by dereferencing. The motivation for this
iterator is that some concepts can be more naturally expressed as a
generator, while most STL algorithms expect an iterator. An example
is the <a href="../random/index.html">Random Number</a> library.

<h2>The Generator Iterator Generator Class</h2>
The class generator_iterator_generator is a helper class whose purpose
is to construct a generator iterator type. The template parameter for
this class is the Generator function object type that is being
wrapped. The generator iterator adaptor only holds a reference (or
pointer) to the function object, therefore the function object must
outlive the generator iterator adaptor constructed from it.
