The concept bidirectional_iterator
refines forward_iterator
by adding the ability to move an iterator backward.
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:
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
:
a
is decrementable, a
is in the domain of the expressions --a and a--.a
is incrementable and bool(a == b), then bool(--(++a) == b).a
is decrementable and bool(a == b), then bool(++(--a) == b).Expressions declared in requires expressions of the standard library concepts are required to be equality-preserving (except where stated otherwise).
[edit] NotesUnlike the LegacyBidirectionalIterator requirements, the bidirectional_iterator
concept does not require dereference to return an lvalue.
A minimum bidirectional iterator.
