Method 1: provide member functions and nested types

This procedure assumes that you have control over the types that should be made conformant to a Range concept. If not, see method 2.

The primary templates in this library are implemented such that standard containers will work automatically and so will boost::array. Below is given an overview of which member functions and member types a class must specify to be useable as a certain Range concept.

Member function

begin()

Single Pass Range

end()

Single Pass Range

Notice that rbegin() and rend() member functions are not needed even though the container can support bidirectional iteration.

The required member types are:

iterator

Single Pass Range

const_iterator

Single Pass Range

Again one should notice that member types reverse_iterator and const_reverse_iterator are not needed.
