    The Projection Iterator Adaptors

    +The projection iterator adaptor is very similar to the transform +iterator, except for a subtle difference in the return type: the +tranform iterator returns the result of the unary function by value, +whereas the projection iterator returns the result by reference. +Therefore, these two adaptors cater to different kinds of unary +functions. Transform iterator caters to functions that create new +objects, whereas projection iterator caters to a function that somehow +obtains a reference to an object that already exists. An example of a +unary function that is suitable for use with the projection adaptor is +select1st_: + +

    +

    +
    +
    +template <class Pair>
+struct select1st_ 
+  : public std::unary_function<Pair, typename Pair::first_type>
+{
+  const typename Pair::first_type& operator()(const Pair& x) const {
+    return x.first;
+  }
+  typename Pair::first_type& operator()(Pair& x) const {
+    return x.first;
+  }
+};
+
    + +The implementation of projection iterator is as follows. First, the +policies class is the same as the transform iterator's policies class. + +

    + +
    +
    +template <class AdaptableUnaryFunction>
+struct projection_iterator_policies : public default_iterator_policies
+{
+    projection_iterator_policies() { }
+    projection_iterator_policies(const AdaptableUnaryFunction& f) : m_f(f) { }
+
+    template <class Reference, class Iterator>
+    Reference dereference (type<Reference>, Iterator const& iter) const {
+        return m_f(*iter);
+    }
+
+    AdaptableUnaryFunction m_f;    
+};
+
    + +Next we have two traits classes. We use value_type& for the +reference type of the mutable projection iterator, and const +value_type& for the immutable projection iterator. + +

    + +
    +
    +template <class AdaptableUnaryFunction, class Traits>
+struct projection_iterator_traits {
+    typedef typename AdaptableUnaryFunction::result_type value_type;
+    typedef value_type& reference;
+    typedef value_type* pointer;
+    typedef typename Traits::difference_type difference_type;
+    typedef typename Traits::iterator_category iterator_category;
+};
+
+template <class AdaptableUnaryFunction, class Traits>
+struct const_projection_iterator_traits {
+    typedef typename AdaptableUnaryFunction::result_type value_type;
+    typedef value_type const& reference;
+    typedef value_type const* pointer;
+    typedef typename Traits::difference_type difference_type;
+    typedef typename Traits::iterator_category iterator_category;
+};
+
    + +And to finish up, we create three generator classes that +use iterator_adaptor to create the projection iterator +types. The class projection_iterator creates a mutable +projection iterator type. The class const_projection_iterator +creates an immutable projection iterator type, and +projection_iterators creates both mutable and immutable +projection iterator types. + +
