title
circular_iterator

{{< callout type="info">}} Header: circular_iterator.h
From: 20.34.0
{{< /callout >}}

An iterator wrapper where increments and decrements will roll around the boundaries of an iterator range.
It is constructed with the begin and end of the range, plus an optional start position.
May be used with forward, bidirectional and random access iterators.

template <typename TIterator>
etl::circular_iterator final;

Types

value_type
difference_type
pointer
reference
iterator_category

Non-member functions

template <typename TIterator>

typename etl::iterator_traits<TIterator>::difference_type 
operator - (etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& lhs, etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& rhs)

template <typename TIterator>

bool operator ==(const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& lhs,
                 const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& rhs)

template <typename TIterator>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool operator ==(const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& lhs,
                                 TIterator rhs)

template <typename TIterator>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool operator ==(TIterator lhs,

template <typename TIterator>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool operator !=(const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& lhs,
                                 const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& rhs)

template <typename TIterator>

template <typename TIterator>
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 bool operator !=(TIterator& lhs,
                                 const etl::circular_iterator<TIterator>& rhs)

Example

std::list<int> data{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };

// The start position to loop from.
std::list<int>::const_iterator> start = data.begin();
std::advance(start, 2);

// Create circular iterators.
etl::circular_iterator<std::list<int>::const_iterator>> cli(data.begin(), data.end(), start);
etl::circular_iterator<std::list<int>::const_reverse_iterator>> clri(data.rbegin(), data.rend);

// Loop 10 times, taking every third value, starting from the third element for the forward iterator and from the end for the reverse iterator.
for (int = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
    std::cout << "(" << *cli << "," << *clrl << ")";
    std::advance(cli, 3);
    std::advance(clri, 3);
}

Prints the following
(2,9)(5,6)(8,3)(1,0)(4,7)(7,4)(0,1)(3,8)(6,5)(9,2)
