CGAL 5.2.1 - Handles and Circulators
CGAL::Circulator_from_container< C > Class Template Reference

#include <CGAL/circulator.h>

Definition

The adaptor Circulator_from_container provides a circulator for an STL container C of equal category as the iterator provided by the container.

The iterator must be at least of the forward iterator category. The corresponding non-mutable circulator is called Const_circulator_from_container<C>.

The container type C is supposed to conform to the STL requirements for container (i.e. to have a begin() and an end() iterator as well as the local types reference, const_reference, value_type, size_type, and difference_type).

Types

All types required for circulators are provided.

Operations

The adaptor conforms to the requirements of the corresponding circulator category. An additional member function current_iterator() returns the current iterator pointing to the same position as the circulator does.

Example

The following program composes two adaptors - from a container to a circulator and back to an iterator. It applies an STL sort algorithm on a STL vector with three elements. The resulting vector will be [2 5 9] as it is checked by the assertions. The program is part of the CGAL distribution.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Circulator_from_container() [1/2]

template<typename C >
CGAL::Circulator_from_container< C >::Circulator_from_container ( C *  container)

a circulator c initialized to refer to the first element in container, i.e. container.begin().

The circulator c refers to an empty sequence if the container is empty.

◆ Circulator_from_container() [2/2]

template<typename C >
CGAL::Circulator_from_container< C >::Circulator_from_container ( C *  container,
C::iterator  i 
)

a circulator c initialized to refer to the element *i in container.

Precondition
*i is dereferenceable and refers to container.
