reference requirements in readable iterator
-------------------------------------------
The DR has been submitted. This is a placeholder for updating our
proposals with respects to the resolution of that DR.
Message c++std-lib-12562
------------------------
The template functions operator==, operator!=, operator<, operator<=,
operator>, operator>=, and operator- that take two arguments that are
specializations of iterator_facade have no specification. The template
function operator+ that takes an argument that is a specialization of
iterator_facade and an argument of type difference_type has no specification.
Message c++std-lib-12563
------------------------
The table listing the functions required for types derived from
iterator_facade has two functions named equal and two named distance_to::
c.equal(b)
c.equal(y)
c.distance_to(b)
c.distance_to(z)
where b and c are const objects of the derived type, y and z are constant
objects of certain iterator types that are interoperable with the derived type.
Seems like the 'b' versions are redundant: in both cases, the other version
will take a 'b'. In fact, iterator_adaptor is specified to use
iterator_facade, but does not provide the 'b' versions of these functions.
Are the 'b' versions needed?
Message c++std-lib-12566
------------------------
The footnote says:
>The UnaryTypeTrait concept is defined in n1519; the LWG added the
>requirement that specializations are derived from their nested ::type.
This is not correct. We had a vague discussion of this in Kona and agreed
in principle, but at the time there was no formal proposal. It's in the
issues list as a new issue.
