|  | <p>The standard iterator categories and requirements are flawed because | ||
|  | they use a single hierarchy of concepts to address two orthogonal | ||
|  | issues: <em>iterator traversal</em> and <em>value access</em>. As a result, many | ||
|  | algorithms with requirements expressed in terms of the iterator | ||
|  | categories are too strict. Also, many real-world iterators can not be | ||
|  | accurately categorized.  A proxy-based iterator with random-access | ||
|  | traversal, for example, may only legally have a category of "input | ||
|  | iterator", so generic algorithms are unable to take advantage of its | ||
|  | random-access capabilities.  The current iterator concept hierarchy is | ||
|  | geared towards iterator traversal (hence the category names), while | ||
|  | requirements that address value access sneak in at various places. The | ||
|  | following table gives a summary of the current value access | ||
|  | requirements in the iterator categories.</p> | ||

|  | </tr> | ||
|  | </tbody> | ||
|  | </table> | ||
|  | <p>Because iterator traversal and value access are mixed together in a | ||
|  | single hierarchy, many useful iterators can not be appropriately | ||
|  | categorized. For example, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vector<bool>::iterator</span></tt> is almost a | ||
|  | random access iterator, but the return type is not <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">bool&</span></tt> (see | ||
|  | <a class="reference external" href="http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/lwg-active.html#96">issue 96</a> and Herb Sutter's paper J16/99-0008 = WG21 | ||
|  | N1185). Therefore, the iterators of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vector<bool></span></tt> only meet the | ||
|  | requirements of input iterator and output iterator.  This is so | ||
|  | nonintuitive that the C++ standard contradicts itself on this point. | ||
|  | In paragraph 23.2.4/1 it says that a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">vector</span></tt> is a sequence that | ||
|  | supports random access iterators.</p> | ||
|  | <p>Another difficult-to-categorize iterator is the transform iterator, an | ||
|  | adaptor which applies a unary function object to the dereferenced | ||
|  | value of the some underlying iterator (see <a class="reference external" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/transform_iterator.htm">transform_iterator</a>). | ||
|  | For unary functions such as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">times</span></tt>, the return type of | ||
|  | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator*</span></tt> clearly needs to be the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">result_type</span></tt> of the function | ||
|  | object, which is typically not a reference.  Because random access | ||
|  | iterators are required to return lvalues from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator*</span></tt>, if you | ||
|  | wrap <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">int*</span></tt> with a transform iterator, you do not get a random | ||
|  | access iterator as might be expected, but an input iterator.</p> | ||
|  | <p>A third example is found in the vertex and edge iterators of the | ||
|  | <a class="reference external" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/graph/doc/table_of_contents.html">Boost Graph Library</a>. These iterators return vertex and edge | ||
|  | descriptors, which are lightweight handles created on-the-fly. They | ||
|  | must be returned by-value. As a result, their current standard | ||
|  | iterator category is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">input_iterator_tag</span></tt>, which means that, | ||
|  | strictly speaking, you could not use these iterators with algorithms | ||
|  | like <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">min_element()</span></tt>. As a temporary solution, the concept | ||
|  | <a class="reference external" href="http://www.boost.org/libs/utility/MultiPassInputIterator.html">Multi-Pass Input Iterator</a> was introduced to describe the vertex and | ||
|  | edge descriptors, but as the design notes for the concept suggest, a | ||
|  | better solution is needed.</p> | ||
|  | <p>In short, there are many useful iterators that do not fit into the | ||
|  | current standard iterator categories. As a result, the following bad | ||
|  | things happen:</p> | ||
|  | <ul class="simple"> | ||
|  | <li>Iterators are often mis-categorized.</li> | ||
|  | <li>Algorithm requirements are more strict than necessary, because they | ||
|  | cannot separate the need for random access or bidirectional | ||
|  | traversal from the need for a true reference return type.</li> | ||
|  | </ul> | ||
|  | </div> | ||

|  | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Impact on the Standard</a></h1> | ||
|  | <p>This proposal for TR1 is a pure extension. Further, the new iterator | ||
|  | concepts are backward-compatible with the old iterator requirements, | ||
|  | and old iterators are forward-compatible with the new iterator | ||
|  | concepts. That is to say, iterators that satisfy the old requirements | ||
|  | also satisfy appropriate concepts in the new system, and iterators | ||
|  | modeling the new concepts will automatically satisfy the appropriate | ||
|  | old requirements.</p> | ||

|  | position comparison such as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator==</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator<</span></tt>.  The | ||
|  | reason for the fine grain slicing of the concepts into the | ||
|  | Incrementable and Single Pass is to provide concepts that are exact | ||
|  | matches with the original input and output iterator requirements.</p> | ||
|  | <p>This proposal also includes a concept for specifying when an iterator | ||
|  | is interoperable with another iterator, in the sense that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">int*</span></tt> is | ||
|  | interoperable with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">int</span> <span class="pre">const*</span></tt>.</p> | ||
|  | <ul class="simple"> | ||
|  | <li>Interoperable Iterators</li> | ||
|  | </ul> | ||
|  | <p>The relationship between the new iterator concepts and the old are | ||
|  | given in the following diagram.</p> | ||
|  | <img alt="oldeqnew.png" src="oldeqnew.png" /> | ||
|  | <p>Like the old iterator requirements, we provide tags for purposes of | ||
|  | dispatching based on the traversal concepts.  The tags are related via | ||
|  | inheritance so that a tag is convertible to another tag if the concept | ||
|  | associated with the first tag is a refinement of the second tag.</p> | ||
|  | <p>Our design reuses <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_traits<Iter>::iterator_category</span></tt> to | ||
|  | indicate an iterator's traversal capability.  To specify | ||
|  | capabilities not captured by any old-style iterator category, an | ||
|  | iterator designer can use an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">iterator_category</span></tt> type that is | ||
|  | convertible to both the the most-derived old iterator category tag | ||
|  | which fits, and the appropriate new iterator traversal tag.</p> | ||
|  | <!-- dwa2003/1/2: Note that we are not *requiring* convertibility to
 | ||
|  | a new-style traversal tag in order to meet new concepts. | ||
|  | Old-style iterators still fit, after all. --> | ||
|  | <p>We do not provide tags for the purposes of dispatching based on the | ||
|  | access concepts, in part because we could not find a way to | ||
|  | automatically infer the right access tags for old-style iterators. | ||
|  | An iterator's writability may be dependent on the assignability of | ||
|  | its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt> and there's no known way to detect whether an | ||
|  | arbitrary type is assignable.  Fortunately, the need for | ||
|  | dispatching based on access capability is not as great as the need | ||
|  | for dispatching based on traversal capability.</p> | ||
|  | <p>A difficult design decision concerned the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt>. The direct | ||
|  | approach for specifying <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt> would have a return type of | ||
|  | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reference</span></tt>; the same as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator*</span></tt>. However, going in this | ||
|  | direction would mean that an iterator satisfying the old Random Access | ||
|  | Iterator requirements would not necessarily be a model of Readable or | ||
|  | Writable Lvalue Iterator.  Instead we have chosen a design that | ||
|  | matches the preferred resolution of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/lwg-active.html#299">issue 299</a>: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">operator[]</span></tt> is | ||
|  | only required to return something convertible to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">value_type</span></tt> | ||
|  | (for a Readable Iterator), and is required to support assignment | ||
|  | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">i[n]</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">t</span></tt> (for a Writable Iterator).</p> | ||
