[section:concepts Range Concepts]
|
|
|
|
[section Overview]
|
|
|
|
A Range is a [*/concept/] similar to the STL [@http://www.sgi.com/Technology/STL/Container.html Container] concept. A Range provides iterators for accessing a half-open range `[first,one_past_last)` of elements and provides information about the number of elements in the Range. However, a Range has fewer requirements than a Container.
|
|
|
|
The motivation for the Range concept is that there are many useful Container-like types that do not meet the full requirements of Container, and many algorithms that can be written with this reduced set of requirements. In particular, a Range does not necessarily
|
|
|
|
* own the elements that can be accessed through it,
|
|
* have copy semantics,
|
|
|
|
Because of the second requirement, a Range object must be passed by (const or non-const) reference in generic code.
|
|
|
|
The operations that can be performed on a Range is dependent on the [@boost:/libs/iterator/doc/new-iter-concepts.html#iterator-traversal-concepts-lib-iterator-traversal traversal category] of the underlying iterator type. Therefore the range concepts are named to reflect which traversal category its iterators support. See also terminology and style guidelines. for more information about naming of ranges.
|
|
|
|
The concepts described below specifies associated types as [@boost:/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/metafunction.html metafunctions] and all functions as free-standing functions to allow for a layer of indirection.

[section Concept Checking]
|
|
|
|
Each of the range concepts has a corresponding concept checking class in the file [@boost:/boost/range/concepts.hpp `<boost/range/concepts.hpp>`]. These classes may be used in conjunction with the __concept_check__ to ensure that the type of a template parameter is compatible with a range concept. If not, a meaningful compile time error is generated. Checks are provided for the range concepts related to iterator traversal categories. For example, the following line checks that the type `T` models the __forward_range__ concept.
|
|
|
|
``
|
|
BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT(( ForwardRangeConcept<T> ));
|
|
``
|
|
|
|
An additional concept check is required for the value access property of the range based on the range's iterator type. For example to check for a ForwardReadableRange, the following code is required.
|
|
|
|
``
|
|
BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT(( ForwardRangeConcept<T> ));
|
|
BOOST_CONCEPT_ASSERT(( ReadableIteratorConcept<typename range_iterator<T>::type> ));
|
|
``
|
|
|
|
The following range concept checking classes are provided.
|
|
|
|
* Class SinglePassRangeConcept checks for __single_pass_range__
|
|
* Class ForwardRangeConcept checks for __forward_range__
|
|
* Class BidirectionalRangeConcept checks for __bidirectional_range__
|
|
* Class RandomAccessRangeConcept checks for __random_access_range__
