### 前言
在STL的思想中，容器和算法是彼此独立设计的，再通过某种方式使它们连接；而迭代器是使算法独立于使用的容器类型，即迭代器是连接算法和容器的方法。由于迭代器是一种行为类似指针的对象，也就说迭代器是一种广义指针，即迭代器对解除引用操作（operator*）和访问成员操作（operator->）进行重载。然而要对这两个操作符进行重载，对容器内部对象的数据类型和存储结构有所了解，于是在 STL 中迭代器的最终实现都是由容器本身来实现的，每种容器都有自己的迭代器实现。本文介绍的不是针对某种特定的容器。在迭代器的设计中，一个最重要的编程技巧那就是Traits技术了，有关[《Traits编程技术》](http://blog.csdn.net/chenhanzhun/article/details/39230529)在前面博文中已经介绍了。
### 迭代器
### 迭代器的分类
在SGI STL中根据读写和访问方式，在源码中迭代器大致可分为五类：
1. 输入迭代器input_iterator：只读，且只能一次读操作，支持操作：++p,p++,!=,==,=*p,p->；
1. 输出迭代器output_iterator：只写，且只能一次写操作，支持操作：++p,p++；
1. 正向迭代器forward_iterator：可多次读写，支持输入输出迭代器的所有操作；
1. 双向迭代器bidirectional_iterator：支持正向迭代器的所有操作，且支持操作：--p,--p；
1. 随机访问迭代器random_access_iterator：除了支持双向迭代器操作外，还支持：p[n],p+n,n+p,p-n,p+=n,p-=n,p1-p2,p1<p2,p1>p2,p1>=p2,p1<=p2；

### 迭代器的型别与traits技巧
在STL的算法设计中需要迭代器的型别，根据不同要求和不同型别，有不同的技巧解决；如：使用模板参数推导机制推导出局部变量类型；内嵌型别求出返回值类型；traits技术解决返回值类型和偏特化traits技术解决原生指针问题；这些都在前面博文[《Traits编程技术》](http://blog.csdn.net/chenhanzhun/article/details/39230529)介绍。迭代器的型别如下代码所示：
~~~
template <class _Iterator>
/*Traits技术，萃取出类型的相关信息*/
struct iterator_traits {
typedef typename _Iterator::iterator_category iterator_category; //迭代器类型
typedef typename _Iterator::value_type value_type;//迭代器所指对象的类型
typedef typename _Iterator::difference_type difference_type;//两个迭代器之间的距离
typedef typename _Iterator::pointer pointer;//指针
typedef typename _Iterator::reference reference;//引用
};
~~~
通过Traits技术我们可以获得迭代器的相关类型的信息iterator_traits<…>::…，下面给出Traits技术的相关源码：
~~~
/*为用户自行开发的迭代器提供方便，用户自行开发的迭代器最后继承该iterator class，以便使用Traits技术*/
template <class _Category, class _Tp, class _Distance = ptrdiff_t,
class _Pointer = _Tp*, class _Reference = _Tp&>
struct iterator {
typedef _Category iterator_category;
typedef _Tp value_type;
typedef _Distance difference_type;
typedef _Pointer pointer;
typedef _Reference reference;
};
#endif /* __STL_USE_NAMESPACES */
#ifdef __STL_CLASS_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION
template <class _Iterator>
/*Traits技术，萃取出类型的相关信息*/
struct iterator_traits {
typedef typename _Iterator::iterator_category iterator_category;
typedef typename _Iterator::value_type value_type;
typedef typename _Iterator::difference_type difference_type;
typedef typename _Iterator::pointer pointer;
typedef typename _Iterator::reference reference;
};
template <class _Tp>
/*针对原生指针Tp*生成的Traits偏特化版本*/
struct iterator_traits<_Tp*> {
typedef random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category;
typedef _Tp value_type;
typedef ptrdiff_t difference_type;
typedef _Tp* pointer;
typedef _Tp& reference;
};
template <class _Tp>
/*针对原生指针const Tp*生成的Traits偏特化版本*/
struct iterator_traits<const _Tp*> {
typedef random_access_iterator_tag iterator_category;
typedef _Tp value_type;
typedef ptrdiff_t difference_type;
typedef const _Tp* pointer;
typedef const _Tp& reference;
};
~~~
在迭代器中，为了能够在编译时确定函数调用，应用了函数重载。因为五种迭代器操作能力是不同的，例如random acess iterator是操作能力最强的，可以在O(1)时间操作指定位置，而这个用其他的迭代器可能需要O(n)。所以为了提高效率，使用迭代器类型最匹配的算法函数去调用：
1. 首先通过traits技术获得迭代器类型iterator_category；
1. 在函数调用时生成相应迭代器类型的临时对象作为实参传递，编译器就会调用相应的重载函数。
为了重载函数识别，SGI STL有对应的5种迭代器标识类：继承是为了可以使用传递调用，当不存在某种迭代器类型匹配时编译器会依据继承层次向上查找进行传递。
~~~
/*五中迭代器类型*/
struct input_iterator_tag {};
struct output_iterator_tag {};
struct forward_iterator_tag : public input_iterator_tag {};
struct bidirectional_iterator_tag : public forward_iterator_tag {};
struct random_access_iterator_tag : public bidirectional_iterator_tag {};
~~~
例如下面是advance()函数的调用，针对不同的迭代器类型，对函数进行重载：
~~~
/*函数重载，使迭代器能在编译时期就确定调用哪个函数*/
template <class _InputIter, class _Distance>
/*迭代器类型为input_iterator_tag的函数定义*/
inline void __advance(_InputIter& __i, _Distance __n, input_iterator_tag) {
while (__n--) ++__i;
}
template <class _BidirectionalIterator, class _Distance>
/*迭代器类型为bidirectional_iterator_tag的函数定义*/
inline void __advance(_BidirectionalIterator& __i, _Distance __n,
bidirectional_iterator_tag) {
__STL_REQUIRES(_BidirectionalIterator, _BidirectionalIterator);
if (__n >= 0)
while (__n--) ++__i;
else
while (__n++) --__i;
}
template <class _RandomAccessIterator, class _Distance>
/*迭代器类型为random_access_iterator_tag的函数定义*/
inline void __advance(_RandomAccessIterator& __i, _Distance __n,
random_access_iterator_tag) {
__STL_REQUIRES(_RandomAccessIterator, _RandomAccessIterator);
__i += __n;
}
template <class _InputIterator, class _Distance>
/*决定调用哪个函数，这是一个对外接口*/
inline void advance(_InputIterator& __i, _Distance __n) {
__STL_REQUIRES(_InputIterator, _InputIterator);
__advance(__i, __n, iterator_category(__i));
}

### SGI STL的__type_traits技术
前面介绍的Traits技术在STL中弥补了C++模板的不足，但是在STL中，Traits技术只是用来规范迭代器，对于迭代器之外的东西没有加以规范。因此，SGI将该技术扩展到迭代器之外的东西，称为__type_traits。iterator_traits是萃取迭代器的特性，而__type_traits是萃取型别的特性。萃取的型别如下：
1. 是否具备non-trivial default ctor?
1. 是否具备non-trivial copy ctor?
1. 是否具备non-trivial assignment operator?
1. 是否具备non-trivial dtor?
1. 是否为POD（plain old data）型别？
其中non-trivial意指非默认的相应函数，编译器会为每个类构造以上四种默认的函数，如果没有定义自己的，就会用编译器默认函数，如果使用默认的函数，我们可以使用memcpy(),memmove(),malloc()等函数来加快速度，提高效率。
定义在SGI<type_traits.h>中__type_traits，提供了一种机制，针对不同型别的特性，在编译时期完成函数派送决定。
~~~

typedef __true_type this_dummy_member_must_be_first;
/* Do not remove this member. It informs a compiler which
automatically specializes __type_traits that this
__type_traits template is special. It just makes sure that
things work if an implementation is using a template
called __type_traits for something unrelated. */
/* The following restrictions should be observed for the sake of
compilers which automatically produce type specific specializations
of this class:
- You may reorder the members below if you wish
- You may remove any of the members below if you wish
- You must not rename members without making the corresponding
name change in the compiler
- Members you add will be treated like regular members unless
you add the appropriate support in the compiler. */

typedef __false_type has_trivial_copy_constructor;
typedef __false_type has_trivial_assignment_operator;
typedef __false_type has_trivial_destructor;
typedef __false_type is_POD_type;
};
~~~
其中返回真假的“对象”是：
~~~
struct __true_type {
};
struct __false_type {
};
~~~
将bool, char, short, int, long, float, double等基本的数据类型及其相应的指针类型的这些特性都定义为__true_type，这意味着，这些对基本类型进行构造、析构、拷贝、赋值等操作时，都是使用系统函数进行的。而除了这些类型之外的其他类型，除非用户指定了它的这些特性为__true_type，默认都是 __false_type 的，不能直接调用系统函数来进行内存配置或赋值等，而需要调用该类型的构造函数、拷贝构造函数等。下面是整个__type_traits源码剖析：
~~~
#ifndef __TYPE_TRAITS_H
#define __TYPE_TRAITS_H
#ifndef __STL_CONFIG_H
#include <stl_config.h>
#endif
/*
This header file provides a framework for allowing compile time dispatch
based on type attributes. This is useful when writing template code.
For example, when making a copy of an array of an unknown type, it helps
to know if the type has a trivial copy constructor or not, to help decide
if a memcpy can be used.
The class template __type_traits provides a series of typedefs each of
which is either __true_type or __false_type. The argument to
__type_traits can be any type. The typedefs within this template will
attain their correct values by one of these means:
1. The general instantiation contain conservative values which work
for all types.
2. Specializations may be declared to make distinctions between types.
3. Some compilers (such as the Silicon Graphics N32 and N64 compilers)
will automatically provide the appropriate specializations for all
types.
EXAMPLE:
//Copy an array of elements which have non-trivial copy constructors
template <class T> void copy(T* source, T* destination, int n, __false_type);
//Copy an array of elements which have trivial copy constructors. Use memcpy.
template <class T> void copy(T* source, T* destination, int n, __true_type);
//Copy an array of any type by using the most efficient copy mechanism
template <class T> inline void copy(T* source,T* destination,int n) {
copy(source, destination, n,
typename __type_traits<T>::has_trivial_copy_constructor());
}

### 总结
1. Traits编程技法对迭代器加以规范，获得了对象的类型相关信息，从而使得算法可以通过类型信息来优化效率。
1. 使用重载函数来解决if-else条件在编译时期和运行时期的不同步，使其能在编译时期确认调用哪个函数。
1. SGI对traits进行扩展，使得所有类型都满足traits编程规范，这样SGI STL算法可以通过__type_traits获取类型信息后。
