reverse_copy

Synopsis

template<
      typename Sequence
    , typename In = unspecified
    >
struct reverse_copy
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Description

Returns a reversed copy of the original sequence.

[Note: This wording applies to a no-inserter version(s) of the algorithm. See the Expression semantics subsection for a precise specification of the algorithm's details in all cases — end note]

Header

#include <boost/mpl/copy.hpp>

Model of

Reversible Algorithm

Parameters

Parameter Requirement Description
Sequence Forward Sequence A sequence to copy.
In Inserter An inserter.

Expression semantics

The semantics of an expression are defined only where they differ from, or are not defined in Reversible Algorithm.

For any Forward Sequence s, and an Inserter in:

typedef reverse_copy<s,in>::type r; 
Return type:A type.
Semantics:

Equivalent to

typedef reverse_fold< s,in::state,in::operation >::type r; 

Complexity

Linear. Exactly size<s>::value applications of in::operation.

Example

typedef list_c<int,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19>::type numbers;
typedef reverse_copy<
      range_c<int,0,10>
    , front_inserter< numbers >
    >::type result;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( size<result>::value, ==, 20 );
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( equal< result,range_c<int,0,20> > ));
