>Description:
On my 32bit machine,
sizeof(std::vector<>::reverse_iterator) is 8.
Similarly for std::vector<>::const_reverse_iterator.
All other iterators from the STL containers (except deque)
have sizeof 4.
I believe it could be made also 4 bytes if the empty base class optimization applied, but it seems it doesn't.
Is it because there are 2 derivations from the same iterator<...> class ? Is there a way to fix it ?
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main() {
typedef std::vector<int> V;
std::cout << "sizeof(iterator) = " << sizeof(V::iterator) << std::endl;
std::cout << "sizeof(reverse_iterator) = " << sizeof(V::reverse_iterator) << std::endl;
}
