LUMIERA.clone/src/lib/itertools.hpp
Ichthyostega 697924925c pragmatic fix for the long-standing problem of detecting increment operator
our duck-detector had a shortcoming here and failed
to detect iterators, in case the increment operator
was inherited from a mix-in

/** @file itertools.hpp
** Helpers for working with iterators based on the pipeline model.
** Iterators abstract from the underlying data container and provide
** the contained data as a source to pull values from. Based on this
** model, we can build pipelines, with filters, valves, junction points
** and transforming facilities. The templates in this header enable such,
** based on the Lumiera Forward Iterator concept. They build on generic
** programming techniques, thus are intended to be combined at compile time
** using definitive type information. Contrast this to an iterator model
** as in Java's Commons-Collections, where Iterator is an Interface based
** on virtual functions. Thus, the basic problem to overcome is the lack
** of a single common interface, which could serve as foundation for
** type inference. As a solution, we use a "onion" approach, where a
** generic base gets configured with an active core, implementing
** the filtering or processing functionality, while the base class
** (IterTool) exposes the operations necessary to comply to the
** Forward Iterator Concept.
**
** \par filtering Iterator
** The FilterIter template can be used to build a filter into a pipeline,
** as it forwards only those elements from its source iterator, which pass
** the predicate evaluation. Anything acceptable as ctor parameter for a
** tr1::function object can be passed in as predicate, but of course the
** signature must be sensible. Please note, that -- depending on the
** predicate -- already the ctor or even a simple \c bool test might
** pull and exhaust the source iterator completely, in an attempt
** to find the first element passing the predicate test.
**
** \par processing Iterator
** the TransformIter template can be used as processing (or transforming)
** step within the pipeline. It is created with a functor, which, when
** pulling elements, is invoked for each element pulled from the
** source iterator. The signature of the functor must match the
** desired value (output) type.
