Access Category Tags

+

The access category types provided correspond to the following +standard iterator access concept combinations:

+
+readable_iterator_t :=
+
+  Readable Iterator
+
+writable_iterator_t :=
+
+  Writeable Iterator
+
+readable_writable_iterator_t :=
+
+  Readable Iterator & Writeable Iterator & Swappable Iterator
+
+readable_lvalue_iterator_t :=
+
+  Readable Iterator & Lvalue Iterator
+
+writeable_lvalue_iterator_t :=
+
+  Readable Iterator & Writeable Iterator & Swappable Iterator & Lvalue Iterator
+
+
+
+

iterator_archetype Requirements

+

The AccessCategory argument must be one of the predefined access +category tags. The TraversalCategory must be one of the standard +traversal tags. The Value type must satisfy the requirements of +the iterator concept specified by AccessCategory and +TraversalCategory as implied by the nested traits types.

+
+
+

iterator_archetype Models

+

iterator_archetype models the iterator concepts specified by the +AccessCategory and TraversalCategory +arguments. iterator_archetype does not model any other access +concepts or any more derived traversal concepts.

+
+
+

Traits

+

The nested trait types are defined as follows:

+
+if (AccessCategory == readable_iterator_t)
+  
+  value_type = Value
+  reference  = Value
+  pointer    = Value*
+
+else if (AccessCategory == writable_iterator_t)
+
+  value_type = void
+  reference  = void
+  pointer    = void
+
+else if (AccessCategory == readable_writable_iterator_t)
+
+  value_type = Value
+
+  reference :=
+
+    A type X that is convertible to Value for which the following
+    expression is valid. Given an object x of type X and v of type 
+    Value.
+
+    x = v
+
+  pointer    = Value*
+
+else if (AccessCategory == readable_lvalue_iterator_t)
+  
+  value_type = Value
+  reference  = Value const&
+  pointer    = Value const*
+
+else if (AccessCategory == writable_lvalue_iterator_t)
+  
+  value_type = Value
+  reference  = Value&
+  pointer    = Value*
+
+if ( TraversalCategory is convertible to forward_traversal_tag )
+
+  difference_type := ptrdiff_t
+
+else
+
+  difference_type := unspecified type
+
+
+iterator_category := 
+
+  A type X satisfying the following two constraints:
+
+     1. X is convertible to X1, and not to any more-derived
+        type, where X1 is defined by:
+
+          if (reference is a reference type
+              && TraversalCategory is convertible to forward_traversal_tag)
+          {
+              if (TraversalCategory is convertible to random_access_traversal_tag)
+                  X1 = random_access_iterator_tag
+              else if (TraversalCategory is convertible to bidirectional_traversal_tag)
+                  X1 = bidirectional_iterator_tag
+              else
+                  X1 = forward_iterator_tag
+          }
+          else
+          {
+              if (TraversalCategory is convertible to single_pass_traversal_tag
+                  && reference != void)
+                  X1 = input_iterator_tag
+              else
+                  X1 = output_iterator_tag
+          }
+
+     2. X is convertible to TraversalCategory
