<p>Each specialization of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> class template is derived from
a specialization of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>. The core interface functions
expected by <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> are implemented in terms of the
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt>'s <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> template parameter. A class derived
from <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> typically redefines some of the core
interface functions to adapt the behavior of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type.
Whether the derived class models any of the standard iterator concepts
depends on the operations supported by the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type and which
core interface functions of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> are redefined in the
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Derived</span></tt> class.</p>

<p>The <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> class template adapts some <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> <a class="footnote-reference" href="#base" id="id1" name="id1"><sup>1</sup></a>
type to create a new iterator. Instantiations of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt>
are derived from a corresponding instantiation of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>
and implement the core behaviors in terms of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type. In
essence, <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> merely forwards all operations to an
instance of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type, which it stores as a member.</p>
<table class="footnote" frame="void" id="base" rules="none">
<colgroup><col class="label" /><col /></colgroup>
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td class="label"><a class="fn-backref" href="#id1" name="base">[1]</a></td><td>The term &quot;Base&quot; here does not refer to a base class and is
not meant to imply the use of derivation. We have followed the lead
of the standard library, which provides a base() function to access
the underlying iterator object of a <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">reverse_iterator</span></tt> adaptor.</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The user of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> creates a class derived from an
instantiation of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> and then selectively
redefines some of the core member functions described in the table
above. The <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type need not meet the full requirements for an
iterator. It need only support the operations used by the core
interface functions of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> that have not been
redefined in the user's derived class.</p>
<p>Several of the template parameters of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> default
to <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">use_default</span></tt>. This allows the
user to make use of a default parameter even when she wants to
specify a parameter later in the parameter list. Also, the
defaults for the corresponding associated types are somewhat
complicated, so metaprogramming is required to compute them, and
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">use_default</span></tt> can help to simplify the implementation. Finally,
the identity of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">use_default</span></tt> type is not left unspecified
because specification helps to highlight that the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Reference</span></tt>
template parameter may not always be identical to the iterator's
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt> type, and will keep users from making mistakes based on
that assumption.</p>
