boost - Custom Iterator using boost iterator

Question

I've a custom data structure like following:

class Node;

class GraphDM {
public:
    GraphDM();
    // these are to iterate on all items of _faninNodes 
    // like all elements in multimap
    FaninIter  faninBegin(); 
    FaninIter  faninEnd();

    // these are to iterate on all items of _fanoutNodes
    FanoutIter fanoutBegin();
    FanoutIter fanoutEnd();

    // these should work like equal_range of multimap
    std::pair<FaninIter, FaninIter > getFanins (const Node *node_);
    std::pair<FaninIter, FaninIter > getFanouts(const Node *node_);

private:
    typedef std::vector< Node* > NodeList;
    typedef boost::unordered_map< Node*, 
                                  NodeList > Map;

    Map     _faninNodes;
    Map     _fanoutNodes;
};

I need to implement these APIs. How can I implement these using boost iterator library?

Also, I may need to take a Predicate to allow filtering

Some pointer to get started will be very helpful. One clarification: I cannot use c++0x compiler flags as I need to use c++98 only. So, please suggest a solution that doesn't need c++11 or c++03 compiler flag.

Also, if I design an iterator like following (nested in the GraphDM class), I'm essentially exposing details my data-structure. Is there a way to make the iterator to iterate only on the Key's of the map (and not the value)? Then I can return a different type of iterator for the getFanins() and getFanout() which would be iterator from the value list.

   class Iter : public boost::iterator_adaptor< Iter,
                                                 Map::iterator,
                                                 boost::use_default >
    {
    public:
        Iter() : Iter::iterator_adaptor_() {}


    private:
        friend class GraphDM;

        Iter(Map::iterator it)
                : Iter::iterator_adaptor_(it) {}

        friend class boost::iterator_core_access;

    };

我在您的文本中没有看到创建自定义迭代器的任何要求。您可以从内部映射中键入定义迭代器。

在这里，我修复了一些问题：

• 您通常不能boost::hash<Node>申请Node const*. 如果您不指定哈希值，它将默认boost::hash<key_type>，这很可能是您想要的。

• 存在一些 const 正确性问题（equal_range 方法采用 const 指针）。我已将所有内容都更正为 const-ness 的安全默认值。
