# std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference > Struct Template Reference

Inheritance diagram for std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >:

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

### template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>
struct std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >

This class does nothing but define nested typedefs. Iterator classes can inherit from this class to save some work. The typedefs are then used in specializations and overloading.

In particular, there are no default implementations of requirements such as `operator++` and the like. (How could there be?)

## Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>

typedef _Distance std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >::difference_type

Distance between iterators is represented as this type.

Reimplemented in std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >.

template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>

typedef _Category std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >::iterator_category

One of the tag types.

template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>

typedef _Pointer std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >::pointer

This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.

Reimplemented in std::_Bit_iterator, std::_Bit_const_iterator, std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >, __gnu_cxx::_Rope_const_iterator< _CharT, _Alloc >, and __gnu_cxx::_Rope_iterator< _CharT, _Alloc >.

template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>

typedef _Reference std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >::reference

This type represents a reference-to-value_type.

Reimplemented in std::_Bit_iterator, std::_Bit_const_iterator, std::reverse_iterator< _Iterator >, __gnu_cxx::_Rope_const_iterator< _CharT, _Alloc >, and __gnu_cxx::_Rope_iterator< _CharT, _Alloc >.

template<typename _Category, typename _Tp, typename _Distance = ptrdiff_t, typename _Pointer = _Tp*, typename _Reference = _Tp&>

typedef _Tp std::iterator< _Category, _Tp, _Distance, _Pointer, _Reference >::value_type

The type "pointed to" by the iterator.

Reimplemented in __gnu_cxx::sequence_buffer< _Sequence, _Buf_sz >.
