random_access_iterator<T, Distance>
Category: iterators
Component type: type
Description
Random_access_iterator is an iterator base class: it is intended that an iterator that is a model of Random Access Iterator, and whose value type and distance type are T and Distance, may be defined by inheriting from random_access_iterator<T, Distance> [1]. Random_access_iterator is entirely empty: it has no member functions, member variables, or nested types. It exists solely to simplify the definition of the functions iterator_category, distance_type, and value_type.
Example
class my_random_access_iterator : public random_access_iterator<double> {
…
};
This declares my_random_access_iterator to be a Random Access Iterator whose value type is double and whose distance type is ptrdiff_t. If Iter is an object of class my_random_access_iterator, then iterator_category(Iter) will return random_access_iterator_tag(), value_type(Iter) will return (double*)0 , and distance_type(Iter) will return (ptrdiff_t*)0.
Definition
Defined in the standard header iterator, and in the nonstandard backward-compatibility header iterator.h. This class is no longer part of the C++ standard, although it was present in early drafts of the standard. It is retained in this implementation for backward compatibility.

Notes
[1] It is not required that a Random Access Iterator inherit from the base random_access_iterator. It is, however, required that the functions iterator_category, distance_type, and value_type be defined for every Random Access Iterator . (Or, if you are using the iterator_traits mechanism, that iterator_traits is properly specialized for every Random Access Iterator.) Since those functions are defined for the base random_access_iterator, the easiest way to ensure that are defined for a new type is to derive that class from random_access_iterator and rely on the derived-to-base standard conversion of function arguments.
