The zip iterator provides the ability to parallel-iterate
|
|
over several controlled sequences simultaneously. A zip
|
|
iterator is constructed from a tuple of iterators. Moving
|
|
the zip iterator moves all the iterators in parallel.
|
|
Dereferencing the zip iterator returns a tuple that contains
|
|
the results of dereferencing the individual iterators.
|
|
|
|
The tuple of iterators is now implemented in terms of a Boost fusion sequence.
|
|
Because of this the 'tuple' may be any Boost fusion sequence and, for backwards
|
|
compatibility through a Boost fusion sequence adapter, a Boost tuple. Because the
|
|
'tuple' may be any boost::fusion sequence the 'tuple' may also be any type for which a
|
|
Boost fusion adapter exists. This includes, among others, a std::tuple and a std::pair.
|
|
Just remember to include the appropriate Boost fusion adapter header files for these
|
|
other Boost fusion adapters. The zip_iterator header file already includes the
|
|
Boost fusion adapter header file for Boost tuple, so you need not include it yourself
|
|
to use a Boost tuple as your 'tuple'.
