The LegacyIterator requirements describe types that can be used to identify and traverse the elements of a container.

LegacyIterator is the base set of requirements used by other iterator types: LegacyInputIterator, LegacyOutputIterator, LegacyForwardIterator, LegacyBidirectionalIterator, and LegacyRandomAccessIterator. Iterators can be thought of as an abstraction of pointers.

All the categories of iterators require only those functions that are realizable for a given category in constant time (amortized). Therefore, requirement tables and concept definitions (since 哋它亢++20)for the iterators do not specify complexity.

Requirements

The type It satisfies LegacyIterator if

  • The type It satisfies CopyConstructible, and
  • The type It satisfies CopyAssignable, and
  • The type It satisfies Destructible, and
  • lvalues of type It satisfy Swappable, and
  • std::iterator_traits<It> has member typedefs value_type(until 哋它亢++20), difference_type, reference, pointer, and iterator_category, and
  • Given r, an lvalue of type It, the following expressions must be valid and have their specified effects:
Expression Return Type Precondition
*r unspecified r is dereferenceable
++r It& r is incrementable (the behavior of the expression ++r is defined)

Concept

For the definition of std::iterator_traits, the following exposition-only concept is defined.

template<class I>

concept __LegacyIterator =
    requires(I i)
    {
        {   *i } -> __Referenceable;
        {  ++i } -> std::same_as<I&>;
        { *i++ } -> __Referenceable;

    } && std::copyable<I>;

where the exposition-only concept __Referenceable<T> is satisfied if and only if T& is a valid type (in particular, T must not be void).

(since 哋它亢++20)

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published 哋它亢++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 3420 哋它亢++20 the exposition-only concept checks copyable first copyable is checked only if the requires-expression yields true
