Re: Limit Debug mode impact: overload __niter_base

    It is still adding a function to wrap what __niter_base unwrap, I called it __nwrap_iter for this reason. But it takes advantage of

Since "niter" refers to __normal_iterator I think a name based on
"niter" would be better than nsomething_iter.

__niter_wrap
__niter_rewrap
__niter_lift (misuse of functional programming term?)
__niter_raise (misuse of linear algebra term?)
__make_niter
__remake_niter


knowing that __niter_base will only unwrap random access iterator to use an expression to that will do the right thing, no matter the original iterator type.

OK, since __niter_base only transforms types based on __normal_iterator that seems safe to assume (in theory we could use
__normal_iterator with non-random access iterators, but we don't).

Could you please add a comment to the __nwrap_iter saying something
like:

 // Reverse the __niter_base transformation to get a
 // __normal_iterator back again (this assumes that __normal_iterator
 // is only used to wrap random access iterators, like pointers).


    I eventually found no issue in the testsuite, despite the std::equal change. I might have had a local invalid test.

Yes, I *did* test it already :-)

Every time you call this function you pass it:

 __nwrap_iter(x, __niter_base(x), y)

So can the __niter_base(x) call happen inside __nwrap_iter?

i.e.

 template<typename _From, typename _To>
   inline _From
   __nwrap_iter(_From __from, _To __res)
   { return __from + (__res - __niter_base(__from)); }
