std::bidirectional_iterator - cppreference.com

The concept bidirectional_iterator refines forward_iterator by adding the ability to move an iterator backward.

[edit] Iterator concept determination

Definition of this concept is specified via an exposition-only alias template /*ITER_CONCEPT*/.

In order to determine /*ITER_CONCEPT*/<I>, let ITER_TRAITS<I> denote I if the specialization std::iterator_traits<I> is generated from the primary template, or std::iterator_traits<I> otherwise:

[edit] Semantic requirements

A bidirectional iterator r is said to be decrementable if and only if there exists some s such that ++s == r.

std::bidirectional_iterator<I> is modeled only if all the concepts it subsumes are modeled, and given two objects a and b of type I:

[edit] Equality preservation

Expressions declared in requires expressions of the standard library concepts are required to be equality-preserving (except where stated otherwise).

[edit] Notes

Unlike the LegacyBidirectionalIterator requirements, the bidirectional_iterator concept does not require dereference to return an lvalue.

[edit] Example

A minimum bidirectional iterator.

#include <cstddef>
#include <iterator>
 
class SimpleBidiIterator
{
public:
    using difference_type = std::ptrdiff_t;
    using value_type = int;
 
    SimpleBidiIterator();
    SimpleBidiIterator(const SimpleBidiIterator&);
 
    SimpleBidiIterator& operator=(const SimpleBidiIterator&);
 
    int operator*() const;
 
    SimpleBidiIterator& operator++();
 
    SimpleBidiIterator operator++(int)
    {
        auto tmp = *this;
        ++*this;
        return tmp;
    }
 
    SimpleBidiIterator& operator--();
 
    SimpleBidiIterator operator--(int)
    {
        auto tmp = *this;
        --*this;
        return tmp;
    }
 
    bool operator==(const SimpleBidiIterator&) const;
};
 
static_assert(std::bidirectional_iterator<SimpleBidiIterator>);
