Detailed Description

template<typename _Iterator>
class std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >

Bidirectional and random access iterators have corresponding reverse iterator adaptors that iterate through the data structure in the opposite direction. They have the same signatures as the corresponding iterators. The fundamental relation between a reverse iterator and its corresponding iterator i is established by the identity:

      &*(reverse_iterator(i)) == &*(i - 1)

This mapping is dictated by the fact that while there is always a pointer past the end of an array, there might not be a valid pointer before the beginning of an array. [24.4.1]/1,2

Reverse iterators can be tricky and surprising at first. Their semantics make sense, however, and the trickiness is a side effect of the requirement that the iterators must be safe.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _Iterator>
std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::reverse_iterator ( ) [inline]

The default constructor value-initializes member current. If it is a pointer, that means it is zero-initialized.

Definition at line 122 of file stl_iterator.h.

Referenced by std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator+(), and std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator-().

template<typename _Iterator>
std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::reverse_iterator ( iterator_type  __x) [inline, explicit]

This iterator will move in the opposite direction that x does.

Definition at line 128 of file stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Iterator>
std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::reverse_iterator ( const reverse_iterator< _Iterator > &  __x) [inline]

The copy constructor is normal.

Definition at line 133 of file stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Iterator>
template<typename _Iter >
std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::reverse_iterator ( const reverse_iterator< _Iter > &  __x) [inline]

A reverse_iterator across other types can be copied if the underlying iterator can be converted to the type of current.

Definition at line 141 of file stl_iterator.h.


Member Function Documentation

template<typename _Iterator>
iterator_type std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::base ( ) const [inline]
Returns:
current, the iterator used for underlying work.

Definition at line 148 of file stl_iterator.h.

Referenced by std::operator==().

template<typename _Iterator>
reference std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator* ( ) const [inline]
Returns:
A reference to the value at --current

This requires that --current is dereferenceable.

Warning:
This implementation requires that for an iterator of the underlying iterator type, x, a reference obtained by *x remains valid after x has been modified or destroyed. This is a bug: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR51823

template<typename _Iterator>
reverse_iterator std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator+ ( difference_type  __n) const [inline]
Returns:
A reverse_iterator that refers to current - __n

The underlying iterator must be a Random Access Iterator.

template<typename _Iterator>
reverse_iterator& std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator++ ( ) [inline]

template<typename _Iterator>
reverse_iterator std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator++ ( int  ) [inline]
Returns:
The original value of *this

template<typename _Iterator>
reverse_iterator& std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator+= ( difference_type  __n) [inline]

Increments the underlying iterator.

Definition at line 220 of file stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Iterator>
reverse_iterator& std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >::operator-= ( difference_type  __n) [inline]
Returns:
*this
