public member function

std::base

<iterator>
Iterator base() const;
Return base iterator
Returns the base iterator.

The base iterator is an iterator of the same type as the one used to construct the reverse_iterator, but pointing to the element next to the one the reverse_iterator is currently pointing to (a reverse_iterator has always an offset of -1 with regards to its base iterator).

Parameters

none

Return value

The base iterator, which iterates in the opposite direction.
Iterator is reverse_iterator's template parameter (the type of the base iterator).

// reverse_iterator::base example
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  vector<int> myvector;
  for (int i=0; i<10; i++) myvector.push_back(i);

  typedef vector<int>::iterator iter_int;

  reverse_iterator<iter_int> rev_end (myvector.begin());
  reverse_iterator<iter_int> rev_begin (myvector.end());

  for (iter_int it = rev_end.base(); it < rev_begin.base(); ++it)
    cout << *it << " ";
  cout << endl;

  return 0;
}


Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
