<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id15">Motivation</a></h1>
<p>Iterators play an important role in modern C++ programming. The
iterator is the central abstraction of the algorithms of the Standard
Library, allowing algorithms to be re-used in in a wide variety of
contexts. The C++ Standard Library contains a wide variety of useful
iterators. Every one of the standard containers comes with constant
and mutable iterators<a class="footnote-reference" href="#mutable" id="id1"><sup>2</sup></a>, and also reverse versions of those
same iterators which traverse the container in the opposite direction.
The Standard also supplies <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">istream_iterator</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ostream_iterator</span></tt> for reading from and writing to streams,
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">insert_iterator</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">front_insert_iterator</span></tt> and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">back_insert_iterator</span></tt> for inserting elements into containers, and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">raw_storage_iterator</span></tt> for initializing raw memory [7].</p>
<p>Despite the many iterators supplied by the Standard Library, obvious
and useful iterators are missing, and creating new iterator types is
still a common task for C++ programmers. The literature documents
several of these, for example line_iterator [3] and Constant_iterator
[9]. The iterator abstraction is so powerful that we expect
programmers will always need to invent new iterator types.</p>
<p>Although it is easy to create iterators that <em>almost</em> conform to the
standard, the iterator requirements contain subtleties which can make
creating an iterator which <em>actually</em> conforms quite difficult.
Further, the iterator interface is rich, containing many operators
that are technically redundant and tedious to implement. To automate
the repetitive work of constructing iterators, we propose
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>, an iterator base class template which provides
the rich interface of standard iterators and delegates its
implementation to member functions of the derived class. In addition
to reducing the amount of code necessary to create an iterator, the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> also provides compile-time error detection.
Iterator implementation mistakes that often go unnoticed are turned
into compile-time errors because the derived class implementation must
match the expectations of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>.</p>
<p>A common pattern of iterator construction is the adaptation of one
iterator to form a new one. The functionality of an iterator is
composed of four orthogonal aspects: traversal, indirection, equality
comparison and distance measurement. Adapting an old iterator to
create a new one often saves work because one can reuse one aspect of
functionality while redefining the other. For example, the Standard
provides <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reverse_iterator</span></tt>, which adapts any Bidirectional Iterator
by inverting its direction of traversal. As with plain iterators,
iterator adaptors defined outside the Standard have become commonplace
in the literature:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Checked iter[13] adds bounds-checking to an existing iterator.</li>
<li>The iterators of the View Template Library[14], which adapts
containers, are themselves adaptors over the underlying iterators.</li>
<li>Smart iterators [5] adapt an iterator's dereferencing behavior by
applying a function object to the object being referenced and
returning the result.</li>
<li>Custom iterators [4], in which a variety of adaptor types are enumerated.</li>
<li>Compound iterators [1], which access a slice out of a container of containers.</li>
<li>Several iterator adaptors from the MTL [12]. The MTL contains a
strided iterator, where each call to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator++()</span></tt> moves the
iterator ahead by some constant factor, and a scaled iterator, which
multiplies the dereferenced value by some constant.</li>
</ul>
<table class="docutils footnote" frame="void" id="concept" rules="none">
<colgroup><col class="label" /><col /></colgroup>
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td class="label">[1]</td><td>We use the term concept to mean a set of requirements

can be changed by assigning to the dereferenced iterator, while
constant iterator refers to iterators over objects that cannot be
modified.</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>To fulfill the need for constructing adaptors, we propose the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> class template. Instantiations of
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> serve as a base classes for new iterators,
providing the default behavior of forwarding all operations to the
underlying iterator. The user can selectively replace these features
in the derived iterator class. This proposal also includes a number
of more specialized adaptors, such as the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">transform_iterator</span></tt> that
applies some user-specified function during the dereference of the
iterator.</p>

<div class="section" id="impact-on-the-standard">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id16">Impact on the Standard</a></h1>
<p>This proposal is purely an addition to the C++ standard library.
However, note that this proposal relies on the proposal for New
Iterator Concepts.</p>

<div class="section" id="iterator-concepts">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id18">Iterator Concepts</a></h2>
<p>This proposal is formulated in terms of the new <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator</span> <span class="pre">concepts</span></tt>
as proposed in <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2003/n1550.html">n1550</a>, since user-defined and especially adapted
iterators suffer from the well known categorization problems that are
inherent to the current iterator categories.</p>
<p>This proposal does not strictly depend on proposal <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2003/n1550.html">n1550</a>, as there
is a direct mapping between new and old categories. This proposal

</div>
<div class="section" id="interoperability">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id19">Interoperability</a></h2>
<p>The question of iterator interoperability is poorly addressed in the
current standard. There are currently two defect reports that are
concerned with interoperability issues.</p>
<p>Issue <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#179">179</a> concerns the fact that mutable container iterator types
are only required to be convertible to the corresponding constant
iterator types, but objects of these types are not required to
interoperate in comparison or subtraction expressions. This situation
is tedious in practice and out of line with the way built in types
work. This proposal implements the proposed resolution to issue
<a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#179">179</a>, as most standard library implementations do nowadays. In other
words, if an iterator type A has an implicit or user defined
conversion to an iterator type B, the iterator types are interoperable
and the usual set of operators are available.</p>
<p>Issue <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#280">280</a> concerns the current lack of interoperability between
reverse iterator types. The proposed new reverse_iterator template
fixes the issues raised in 280. It provides the desired
interoperability without introducing unwanted overloads.</p>

<p>While the iterator interface is rich, there is a core subset of the
interface that is necessary for all the functionality. We have
identified the following core behaviors for iterators:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>dereferencing</li>
<li>incrementing</li>
<li>decrementing</li>
<li>equality comparison</li>
<li>random-access motion</li>
<li>distance measurement</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to the behaviors listed above, the core interface elements
include the associated types exposed through iterator traits:
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">difference_type</span></tt>, and
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_category</span></tt>.</p>
<p>Iterator facade uses the Curiously Recurring Template
Pattern (CRTP) <a class="citation-reference" href="#cop95" id="id4">[Cop95]</a> so that the user can specify the behavior
of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> in a derived class. Former designs used
policy objects to specify the behavior, but that approach was
discarded for several reasons:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>the creation and eventual copying of the policy object may create
overhead that can be avoided with the current approach.</li>
<li>The policy object approach does not allow for custom constructors
on the created iterator types, an essential feature if
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> should be used in other library
implementations.</li>
<li>Without the use of CRTP, the standard requirement that an
iterator's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator++</span></tt> returns the iterator type itself
would mean that all iterators built with the library would
have to be specializations of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade<...></span></tt>, rather
than something more descriptive like
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_iterator<T*></span></tt>. Cumbersome type generator
metafunctions would be needed to build new parameterized
iterators, and a separate <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> layer would be
impossible.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id21">Usage</a></h3>
<p>The user of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> derives his iterator class from a
specialization of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> and passes the derived
iterator class as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>'s first template parameter.
The order of the other template parameters have been carefully
chosen to take advantage of useful defaults. For example, when
defining a constant lvalue iterator, the user can pass a
const-qualified version of the iterator's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt> as
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>'s <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Value</span></tt> parameter and omit the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Reference</span></tt> parameter which follows.</p>
<p>The derived iterator class must define member functions implementing
the iterator's core behaviors. The following table describes
expressions which are required to be valid depending on the category
of the derived iterator type. These member functions are described
briefly below and in more detail in the iterator facade
requirements.</p>

<!-- Should we add a comment that a zero overhead implementation of iterator_facade
is possible with proper inlining? -->
<p>In addition to implementing the core interface functions, an iterator
derived from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> typically defines several
constructors. To model any of the standard iterator concepts, the
iterator must at least have a copy constructor. Also, if the iterator
type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X</span></tt> is meant to be automatically interoperate with another
iterator type <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Y</span></tt> (as with constant and mutable iterators) then
there must be an implicit conversion from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Y</span></tt> or from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Y</span></tt>
to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X</span></tt> (but not both), typically implemented as a conversion
constructor. Finally, if the iterator is to model Forward Traversal
Iterator or a more-refined iterator concept, a default constructor is
required.</p>

<div class="section" id="iterator-core-access">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id22">Iterator Core Access</a></h3>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> and the operator implementations need to be able
to access the core member functions in the derived class. Making the
core member functions public would expose an implementation detail to
the user. The design used here ensures that implementation details do
not appear in the public interface of the derived iterator type.</p>
<p>Preventing direct access to the core member functions has two
advantages. First, there is no possibility for the user to accidently
use a member function of the iterator when a member of the value_type
was intended. This has been an issue with smart pointer
implementations in the past. The second and main advantage is that
library implementers can freely exchange a hand-rolled iterator
implementation for one based on <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> without fear of
breaking code that was accessing the public core member functions
directly.</p>
<p>In a naive implementation, keeping the derived class' core member
functions private would require it to grant friendship to
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> and each of the seven operators. In order to
reduce the burden of limiting access, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_core_access</span></tt> is
provided, a class that acts as a gateway to the core member functions
in the derived iterator class. The author of the derived class only
needs to grant friendship to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_core_access</span></tt> to make his core
member functions available to the library.</p>
<!-- This is no long uptodate -thw -->
<!-- Yes it is; I made sure of it! -DWA -->
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_core_access</span></tt> will be typically implemented as an empty
class containing only private static member functions which invoke the
iterator core member functions. There is, however, no need to
standardize the gateway protocol. Note that even if
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_core_access</span></tt> used public member functions it would not
open a safety loophole, as every core member function preserves the
invariants of the iterator.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="operator">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id23"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt></a></h3>
<p>The indexing operator for a generalized iterator presents special
challenges. A random access iterator's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt> is only
required to return something convertible to its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt>.
Requiring that it return an lvalue would rule out currently-legal
random-access iterators which hold the referenced value in a data
member (e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="#counting"><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">counting_iterator</span></tt></a>), because <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*(p+n)</span></tt> is a reference
into the temporary iterator <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p+n</span></tt>, which is destroyed when
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt> returns.</p>
<p>Writable iterators built with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> implement the
semantics required by the preferred resolution to <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-active.html#299">issue 299</a> and
adopted by proposal <a class="reference external" href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2003/n1550.html">n1550</a>: the result of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p[n]</span></tt> is an object
convertible to the iterator's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p[n]</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">x</span></tt> is
equivalent to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*(p</span> <span class="pre">+</span> <span class="pre">n)</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">x</span></tt> (Note: This result object may be
implemented as a proxy containing a copy of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">p+n</span></tt>). This approach
will work properly for any random-access iterator regardless of the
other details of its implementation. A user who knows more about
the implementation of her iterator is free to implement an
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt> that returns an lvalue in the derived iterator
class; it will hide the one supplied by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> from
clients of her iterator.</p>

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt> type of a readable iterator (and today's input
iterator) need not in fact be a reference, so long as it is
convertible to the iterator's <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt>. When the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt>
is a class, however, it must still be possible to access members
through <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator-></span></tt>. Therefore, an iterator whose <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt>
type is not in fact a reference must return a proxy containing a copy
of the referenced value from its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator-></span></tt>.</p>

are derived from a corresponding instantiation of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>

essence, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> merely forwards all operations to an

<p>The user of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> creates a class derived from an
instantiation of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> and then selectively
redefines some of the core member functions described in the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> core requirements table. The <tt class="docutils 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="docutils 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="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> default
to <tt class="docutils 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="docutils literal"><span class="pre">use_default</span></tt> can help to simplify the implementation. Finally,
the identity of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">use_default</span></tt> type is not left unspecified
because specification helps to highlight that the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Reference</span></tt>
template parameter may not always be identical to the iterator's
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt> type, and will keep users from making mistakes based on
that assumption.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="specialized-adaptors">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id26">Specialized Adaptors</a></h2>
<p>This proposal also contains several examples of specialized adaptors
which were easily implemented using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">indirect_iterator</span></tt>, which iterates over iterators, pointers,
or smart pointers and applies an extra level of dereferencing.</li>
<li>A new <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reverse_iterator</span></tt>, which inverts the direction of a Base
iterator's motion, while allowing adapted constant and mutable
iterators to interact in the expected ways (unlike those in most
implementations of C++98).</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">transform_iterator</span></tt>, which applies a user-defined function object
to the underlying values when dereferenced.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filter_iterator</span></tt>, which provides a view of an iterator range in
which some elements of the underlying range are skipped.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="simple" id="counting">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">counting_iterator</span></tt>, which adapts any incrementable type
(e.g. integers, iterators) so that incrementing/decrementing the
adapted iterator and dereferencing it produces successive values of
the Base type.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">function_output_iterator</span></tt>, which makes it easier to create custom
output iterators.</li>
</ul>
<p>Based on examples in the Boost library, users have generated many new
adaptors, among them a permutation adaptor which applies some
permutation to a random access iterator, and a strided adaptor, which
adapts a random access iterator by multiplying its unit of motion by a
constant factor. In addition, the Boost Graph Library (BGL) uses
iterator adaptors to adapt other graph libraries, such as LEDA [10]
and Stanford GraphBase [8], to the BGL interface (which requires C++
Standard compliant iterators).</p>

<p>Each specialization of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> class template is derived from
a specialization of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt>. The core interface functions

from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_adaptor</span></tt> typically redefines some of the core
interface functions to adapt the behavior of the <tt class="docutils 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="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Base</span></tt> type and which
core interface functions of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_facade</span></tt> are redefined in the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Derived</span></tt> class.</p>

<p>The filter iterator adaptor creates a view of an iterator range in
which some elements of the range are skipped. A predicate function
object controls which elements are skipped. When the predicate is
applied to an element, if it returns <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">true</span></tt> then the element is
retained and if it returns <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">false</span></tt> then the element is skipped
over. When skipping over elements, it is necessary for the filter
adaptor to know when to stop so as to avoid going past the end of the
underlying range. A filter iterator is therefore constructed with pair
of iterators indicating the range of elements in the unfiltered
sequence to be traversed.</p>

<p>The function output iterator adaptor makes it easier to create custom
output iterators. The adaptor takes a unary function and creates a
model of Output Iterator. Each item assigned to the output iterator is
passed as an argument to the unary function. The motivation for this
iterator is that creating a conforming output iterator is non-trivial,
particularly because the proper implementation usually requires a
proxy object.</p>
