Iterator Facade

Description

The iterator_facade template provides an intrusive mechanism for producing a conforming Fusion iterator.

Synopsis
template<typename Derived, typename TravesalTag>
struct iterator_facade;
Usage

The user of iterator_facade derives his iterator type from a specialization of iterator_facade and passes the derived iterator type as the first template parameter. The second template parameter should be the traversal category of the iterator being implemented.

The user must the implement the key expressions required by their iterator type.

Table 1.104. Parameters

Name

Description

iterator, It, It1, It2

A type derived from iterator_facade

N

An MPL Integral Constant

Expression

Result

Default

iterator::template value_of<It>::type

The element stored at iterator position It

None

iterator::template deref<It>::type

The type returned when dereferencing an iterator of type It

None

iterator::template deref<It>::call(it)

Dereferences iterator it

None

iterator::template next<It>::type

The type of the next element from It

None

iterator::template next<It>::call(it)

The next iterator after it

None

iterator::template prior<It>::type

The type of the next element from It

None

iterator::template prior<It>::call(it)

None

iterator::template advance<It, N>::type

The type of an iterator advanced N elements from It

Implemented in terms of next and prior

iterator::template advance<It, N>::call(it)

iterator::template distance<It1, It2>::type

The distance between iterators of type It1 and It2 as an MPL Integral Constant

None

iterator::template distance<It1, It2>::call(it1, it2)

The distance between iterator it1 and it2

None

iterator::template equal_to<It1, It2>::type

Returns mpl::true_ if It1 is equal to It2, mpl::false_ otherwise.

boost::same_type<It1, It2>::type

iterator::template equal_to<It1, It2>::call(it1, it2)

Returns a type convertible to bool that evaluates to true if It1 is equal to It2, false otherwise.

boost::same_type<It1, It2>::type()

iterator::template key_of<It>::type

The key type associated with the element from It

None

iterator::template value_of_data<It>::type

The type of the data property associated with the element from It

None

iterator::template deref_data<It>::type

The type that will be returned by dereferencing the data property of the element from It

None

iterator::template deref_data<It>::call(it)

Deferences the data property associated with the element referenced by it

None
