STL迭代器简介

标准模板库(The Standard Template Library, STL)定义了五种迭代器。下面的图表画出了这几种：

 

            input         output

              /            /

                 forward

                     |

                bidirectional

                     |

               random access

要注意，上面这图表并不是表明它们之间的继承关系：而只是描述了迭代器的种类和接口。处于图表下层的迭代器都是相对于处于图表上层迭代器的扩张集。例如：forward迭代器不但拥有input和output迭代器的所有功能，还拥有更多的功能。

   各个迭代器的功能如下：

迭代器类别

说明

输入

从容器中读取元素。输入迭代器只能一次读入一个元素向前移动，输入迭代器只支持一遍算法，同一个输入迭代器不能两遍遍历一个序列

输出

向容器中写入元素。输出迭代器只能一次一个元素向前移动。输出迭代器只支持一遍算法，统一输出迭代器不能两次遍历一个序列

正向

组合输入迭代器和输出迭代器的功能，并保留在容器中的位置

双向

组合正向迭代器和逆向迭代器的功能，支持多遍算法

随机访问

组合双向迭代器的功能与直接访问容器中任何元素的功能，即可向前向后跳过任意个元素

 

下表中，每种迭代器均可进行包括表中前一种迭代器可进行的操作。

所有迭代器：

p++

前置自增迭代器

++p

后置自增迭代器

输入迭代器：

*p

复引用迭代器，作为右值

注：此时以容器作为输入源，读容器

 p=p1

将一个迭代器赋给另一个迭代器

p==p1

比较迭代器的相等性

 p!=p1

比较迭代器的不等性

输出迭代器：

*p

复引用迭代器，作为左值

注：输出到容器，写容器

 p=p1

将一个迭代器赋给另一个迭代器

正向迭代器：

提供输入输出迭代器的所有功能。

双向迭代器：

--p

前置自减迭代器

 p--

后置自减迭代器

随机迭代器：

p+=i

将迭代器递增i位

p-=i

将迭代器递减i位

p+i

在p位加i位后的迭代器

p-i

在p位减i位后的迭代器

p[i]

返回p位元素偏离i位的元素引用

p<p1

如果迭代器p的位置在p1前，返回true，否则返回false

p<=p1

p的位置在p1的前面或同一位置时返回true，否则返回false

p>p1

如果迭代器p的位置在p1后，返回true，否则返回false

p>=p1

p的位置在p1的后面或同一位置时返回true，否则返回false

 

   下面列举了些例子说明各个容器的用法：
1、vector

#include <iostream>#include <vector>int main(){ std::vector<char> charVector; int x; for (x=0; x<10; ++x) charVector.push_back(65 + x); int size = charVector.size(); for (x=0; x<size; ++x) { std::vector<char>::iterator start = charVector.begin(); charVector.erase(start); std::vector<char>::iterator iter; for (iter = charVector.begin(); iter != charVector.end(); iter++) { std::cout << *iter; } std::cout << std::endl; } return 0;}

2、deque

#include <iostream>#include <deque>int main(){ std::deque<char> charDeque; int x; for (x=0; x<10; ++x) charDeque.push_front(65 + x); int size = charDeque.size(); for (x=0; x<size; ++x) { std::deque<char>::iterator start = charDeque.begin(); charDeque.erase(start); std::deque<char>::iterator iter; for (iter = charDeque.begin(); iter != charDeque.end(); iter++) { std::cout << *iter; } std::cout << std::endl; } return 0;}

map、set 和 list 类型提供双向迭代器，而 string、vector 和 deque 容器上定义的迭代器都是随机访问迭代器都是随机访问迭代器，用作访问内置数组元素的指针也是随机访问迭代器。istream_iterator 是输入迭代器，而 ostream_iterator 则是输出迭代器。
