Detailed Description

template<class DerivedIterator, class AccessorType>
class LinearIndexIterator< DerivedIterator, AccessorType >

Many classes in deal.II, such as FullMatrix, TransposeTable, and SparseMatrix, store their data in contiguous buffers (though the interpretation of what the elements of these buffers represent can, of course, be complex). For example, FullMatrix and TransposeTable store their data in row major and column major order respectively, whereas for SparseMatrix the mapping from buffer location to matrix entry \(\mathbf{A}(i, j)\) is more complicated. In any case, however, the contiguous arrangements of elements enables random access iteration.

LinearIndexIterator provides most of the functionality needed to write iterators for these classes. LinearIndexIterator is essentially a simplified version of boost::iterator_facade that assumes AccessorType provides certain members (documented below) that completely describe the state of the iterator. The intended use of this class is for containers to define their own accessor classes and then use the curiously recurring template pattern (CRTP) technique to define their iterators. For example, here is a container that uses LinearIndexIterator to define its own iterator classes:

template <typename T>
class Container
{
protected:
  // forward declaration for friendship
  template <bool Constness>
  class Iterator;
  template <bool Constness>
  class Accessor
  {
  public:
    // const iterators store a const pointer
    typedef typename std::conditional<Constness, const Container<T>*, Container<T>*>::type
    container_pointer_type;
    // This typedef is assumed to exist.
    typedef std::size_t size_type;
    // constructor.
    Accessor(const container_pointer_type container, const std::ptrdiff_t index);
    // constructor.
    Accessor();
    // get a constant reference to the current value.
    const T& value() const;
  protected:
    container_pointer_type container;
    std::ptrdiff_t linear_index;
    // LinearIndexIterator needs access to linear_index and container.
    friend class LinearIndexIterator<Iterator<Constness>, Accessor<Constness>>;
  };
  template <bool Constness>
  class Iterator : public LinearIndexIterator<Iterator<Constness>, Accessor<Constness>>
  {
    // Constructor.
    Iterator(Container<T> * const container, const std::ptrdiff_t index);
    // implement additional constructors here, but all state should be contained
    // in the Accessor, which is a member of the base class.
  };
public:
  typedef std::size_t size_type;
  typedef Iterator<true> const_iterator;
  typedef Iterator<false> iterator;
  iterator begin ();
  iterator end ();
  const_iterator begin () const;
  const_iterator end () const;
};

Template Parameters

DerivedIterator As shown in the example above, concrete iterator classes should use this class with the CRTP technique: this provides the boiler-plate comparison and arithmetic operators for iterators. This is necessary for, e.g., LinearIndexIterator::operator++() to return the correct type.

AccessorType

LinearIndexIterator assumes that the AccessorType template parameter has the following members which completely describe the current state of the iterator:

A pointer named container to the original container (e.g., the relevant SparseMatrix). This should be a const pointer for const iterators.
An array index named linear_index that stores the current position in the container's storage buffer. linear_index does not need to be an integer: it could be a class type (convertible to the correct index type of the container) that implements operator+=, operator<, and operator==. For example, one could implement a strided iterator by implementing operator+= and operator- with multiplicative factors.

In addition, AccessorType should declare the relevant LinearIndexIterator instantiation to be a friend and define a size_type type.

Note: TransposeTable uses this template to implement its iterators.
