<h1>Reverse Iterator Adaptor</h1>
Defined in header <a href=
"../../boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp">boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp</a>
<p>The reverse iterator adaptor flips the direction of a base iterator's
motion. Invoking <tt>operator++()</tt> moves the base iterator backward and
invoking <tt>operator--()</tt> moves the base iterator forward. The Boost
reverse iterator adaptor is better to use than the
<tt>std::reverse_iterator</tt> class in situations where pairs of
mutable/constant iterators are needed (e.g., in containers) because
comparisons and conversions between the mutable and const versions are
implemented correctly.

<h2><a name="reverse_iterator_generator">The Reverse Iterator Type
Generator</a></h2>
The <tt>reverse_iterator_generator</tt> template is a <a href=
"../../more/generic_programming.html#type_generator">generator</a> of
reverse iterator types. The main template parameter for this class is the
base <tt>BidirectionalIterator</tt> type that is being adapted. In most
cases the associated types of the base iterator can be deduced using
<tt>std::iterator_traits</tt>, but in some situations the user may want to
override these types, so there are also template parameters for the base
iterator's associated types.
<blockquote>
<pre>
template &lt;class <a href=
"http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BidirectionalIterator.html">BidirectionalIterator</a>,
class Value, class Reference, class Pointer, class Category, class Distance&gt;
class reverse_iterator_generator
{
public:
typedef <tt><a href=
"./iterator_adaptors.htm#iterator_adaptor">iterator_adaptor</a>&lt;...&gt;</tt> type; // the resulting reverse iterator type
};
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h3>Example</h3>
In this example we sort a sequence of letters and then output the sequence
in descending order using reverse iterators.
<blockquote>
<pre>
#include &lt;boost/config.hpp&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include &lt;algorithm&gt;
#include &lt;boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp&gt;
int main(int, char*[])
{
char letters[] = "hello world!";
const int N = sizeof(letters)/sizeof(char) - 1;
std::cout &lt;&lt; "original sequence of letters:\t"
&lt;&lt; letters &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::sort(letters, letters + N);
// Use reverse_iterator_generator to print a sequence
// of letters in reverse order.
boost::reverse_iterator_generator&lt;char*&gt;::type
reverse_letters_first(letters + N),
reverse_letters_last(letters);
std::cout &lt;&lt; "letters in descending order:\t";
std::copy(reverse_letters_first, reverse_letters_last,
std::ostream_iterator&lt;char&gt;(std::cout));
std::cout &lt;&lt; std::endl;
// to be continued...
</pre>
</blockquote>
The output is:
<blockquote>
<pre>
original sequence of letters: hello world!
letters in descending order: wroolllhed!
</pre>
</blockquote>

<h3>Concept Model</h3>
The indirect iterator will model whichever <a href=
"http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Iterators.html">standard iterator concept
category</a> is modeled by the base iterator. Thus, if the base iterator is
a model of <a href=
"http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/RandomAccessIterator.html">Random Access
Iterator</a> 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 <a href=
"http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/BidirectionalIterator.html">Bidirectional
Iterator</a>
<h3>Members</h3>
The reverse iterator type implements the member functions and operators
required of the <a href=
"http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/RandomAccessIterator.html">Random Access
Iterator</a> concept. In addition it has the following constructor:
<blockquote>
<pre>
reverse_iterator_generator::type(const BidirectionalIterator&amp; it)
</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>

<p>
<h2><a name="make_reverse_iterator">The Reverse Iterator Object
Generator</a></h2>
The <tt>make_reverse_iterator()</tt> function provides a more convenient
way to create reverse iterator objects. The function saves the user the
trouble of explicitly writing out the iterator types.
<blockquote>
<pre>
template &lt;class BidirectionalIterator&gt;
typename reverse_iterator_generator&lt;BidirectionalIterator&gt;::type
make_reverse_iterator(BidirectionalIterator base);
</pre>
</blockquote>
<h3>Example</h3>
In this part of the example we use <tt>make_reverse_iterator()</tt> to
print the sequence of letters in reverse-reverse order, which is the
original order.
<blockquote>
<pre>
// continuing from the previous example...
std::cout &lt;&lt; "letters in ascending order:\t";
std::copy(boost::make_reverse_iterator(reverse_letters_last),
boost::make_reverse_iterator(reverse_letters_first),
std::ostream_iterator&lt;char&gt;(std::cout));
std::cout &lt;&lt; std::endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
</blockquote>
The output is:
<blockquote>
<pre>
letters in ascending order: !dehllloorw
</pre>

<h2><a name="interactions">Constant/Mutable Iterator Interactions</a></h2>
<p>One failing of the standard <tt><a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ReverseIterator.html">reverse_iterator</a></tt>
adaptor is that it doesn't properly support interactions between adapted
<tt>const</tt> and non-<tt>const</tt> iterators. For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
#include &lt;vector&gt;
template &lt;class T&gt; void convert(T x) {}
// Test interactions of a matched pair of random access iterators
template &lt;class Iterator, class ConstIterator&gt;
void test_interactions(Iterator i, ConstIterator ci)
{
bool eq = i == ci; // comparisons
bool ne = i != ci;
bool lt = i &lt; ci;
bool le = i &lt;= ci;
bool gt = i &gt; ci;
bool ge = i &gt;= ci;
std::size_t distance = i - ci; // difference
ci = i; // assignment
ConstIterator ci2(i); // construction
convert&lt;ConstIterator&gt;(i); // implicit conversion
}
void f()
{
typedef std::vector&lt;int&gt; vec;
vec v;
const vec&amp; cv;
test_interactions(v.begin(), cv.begin()); // <font color="#007F00">OK</font>
test_interactions(v.rbegin(), cv.rbegin()); // <font color="#FF0000">ERRORS ON EVERY TEST!!</font>
</pre>
</blockquote>
Reverse iterators created with <tt>boost::reverse_iterator_generator</tt> don't have this problem, though:
<blockquote>
<pre>
typedef boost::reverse_iterator_generator&lt;vec::iterator&gt;::type ri;
typedef boost::reverse_iterator_generator&lt;vec::const_iterator&gt;::type cri;
test_interactions(ri(v.begin()), cri(cv.begin())); // <font color="#007F00">OK!!</font>
</pre>
</blockquote>
Or, more simply,
<blockquote>
<pre>
test_interactions(
boost::make_reverse_iterator(v.begin()),
boost::make_reverse_iterator(cv.begin())); // <font color="#007F00">OK!!</font>
}
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>If you are wondering why there is no
<tt>reverse_iterator_pair_generator</tt> in the manner of <tt><a
href="projection_iterator.htm#projection_iterator_pair_generator">projection_iterator_pair_generator</a></tt>,
the answer is simple: we tried it, but found that in practice it took
<i>more</i> typing to use <tt>reverse_iterator_pair_generator</tt> than to
simply use <tt>reverse_iterator_generator</tt> twice!<br><br>
