If the ``Difference`` argument is ``use_default`` then
``difference_type`` is an unspecified signed integral
type. Otherwise ``difference_type`` is ``Difference``.
``iterator_category`` is determined according to the following
algorithm:
.. parsed-literal::
if (CategoryOrTraversal is not use_default)
return CategoryOrTraversal
else if (numeric_limits<Incrementable>::is_specialized)
return |iterator-category|_\ (
random_access_traversal_tag, Incrementable, const Incrementable&)
else
return |iterator-category|_\ (
iterator_traversal<Incrementable>::type,
Incrementable, const Incrementable&)
[*Note:* implementers are encouraged to provide an implementation of
``operator-`` and a ``difference_type`` that avoids overflows in
the cases where ``std::numeric_limits<Incrementable>::is_specialized``
is true.]
``counting_iterator`` requirements
..................................
The ``Incrementable`` argument shall be Copy Constructible and Assignable.
If ``iterator_category`` is convertible to ``forward_iterator_tag``
or ``forward_traversal_tag``, the following must be well-formed::
Incrementable i, j;
++i; // pre-increment
i == j; // operator equal
If ``iterator_category`` is convertible to
``bidirectional_iterator_tag`` or ``bidirectional_traversal_tag``,
the following expression must also be well-formed::
--i
If ``iterator_category`` is convertible to
``random_access_iterator_tag`` or ``random_access_traversal_tag``,
the following must must also be valid::
counting_iterator::difference_type n;
i += n;
n = i - j;
i < j;
``counting_iterator`` models
............................
Specializations of ``counting_iterator`` model Readable Lvalue
Iterator. In addition, they model the concepts corresponding to the
iterator tags to which their ``iterator_category`` is convertible.
Also, if ``CategoryOrTraversal`` is not ``use_default`` then
``counting_iterator`` models the concept corresponding to the iterator
tag ``CategoryOrTraversal``. Otherwise, if
``numeric_limits<Incrementable>::is_specialized``, then
``counting_iterator`` models Random Access Traversal Iterator.
Otherwise, ``counting_iterator`` models the same iterator traversal
concepts modeled by ``Incrementable``.
``counting_iterator<X,C1,D1>`` is interoperable with
``counting_iterator<Y,C2,D2>`` if and only if ``X`` is
interoperable with ``Y``.
``counting_iterator`` operations
................................
In addition to the operations required by the concepts modeled by
``counting_iterator``, ``counting_iterator`` provides the following
operations.
``counting_iterator();``
:Requires: ``Incrementable`` is Default Constructible.
:Effects: Default construct the member ``m_inc``.
``counting_iterator(counting_iterator const& rhs);``
:Effects: Construct member ``m_inc`` from ``rhs.m_inc``.
``explicit counting_iterator(Incrementable x);``
:Effects: Construct member ``m_inc`` from ``x``.
``reference operator*() const;``
:Returns: ``m_inc``
``counting_iterator& operator++();``
:Effects: ``++m_inc``
:Returns: ``*this``
``counting_iterator& operator--();``
:Effects: ``--m_inc``
:Returns: ``*this``
``Incrementable const& base() const;``
:Returns: ``m_inc``
