Reverse Iterator Adaptor

Reverse Iterator Adaptor

+ Defined in header boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp -Defined in header -boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp - -

-The reverse iterator adaptor flips the direction of an iterators -motion. Invoking operator++() moves the reverse iterator -backwards and calling operator--() moves the reverse iterator -forwards. The Boost reverse iterator adaptor is better to use than the -std::reverse_iterator class in situations where pairs of -mutable/const iterators are needed (such as in containers) because -comparisons and conversions between the mutable and const versions are -implemented correctly. - -

Model of

+ Default: + std::iterator_traits<BidirectionalIterator&gt::difference_type + + -If the base iterator is a model of Random -Access Iterator then so is the resulting reverse iterator. If the -base iterator supports less functionality than this the resulting -reverse iterator will also support less functionality. The base -iterator must be at least a Bidirectional -Iterator +

Concept Model

+ The indirect iterator will model whichever standard iterator concept + category is modeled by the base iterator. Thus, if the base iterator is + a model of Random Access + Iterator then so is the resulting indirect iterator. If the base + iterator models a more restrictive concept, the resulting indirect iterator + will model the same concept. The base iterator must be at least a Bidirectional + Iterator -
