advance

Description

Moves an iterator a specified distance.

Synopsis

template<
    typename I,
    typename M
    >
struct advance
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Table 1.17. Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
`I`	Model of Forward Iterator	Iterator to move relative to
`M`	Model of MPL Integral Constant	Number of positions to move

Expression Semantics

result_of::advance<I,M>::type

Return type: A model of the same iterator concept as I.

Semantics: Returns an iterator a distance M from I. If I is a Bidirectional Iterator then M may be negative.

Header

#include <boost/fusion/iterator/advance.hpp>

Example

typedef vector<int,double,char> vec;
typedef result_of::begin<vec>::type first;
typedef result_of::next<first>::type second;
typedef result_of::next<second>::type third;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((result_of::equal_to<result_of::advance<first, boost::mpl::int_<2> >::type, third>));
