在自定义迭代器上应用reverse_iterator后引用失效

标签: c++ c++11 c++14 reverse-iterator

我实现了一个双向迭代器,但它不是对数据结构进行操作,而是返回一个数学系列,可以在两个方向上迭代计算。实际上,我在整数中使用++和 - 迭代整数。这意味着数据不会存储在不同的结构中,因此当迭代器超出范围时,值也是如此。

尽管如此,我希望下一个代码(最小失败示例)示例能够正常工作,因为迭代器一直在范围内。但它不起作用:(

#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

class my_iterator : public std::iterator<std::bidirectional_iterator_tag, int> {
  int d_val = 12;
public:
  my_iterator  operator--(int) { std::cout << "decrement--\n"; return my_iterator(); }
  my_iterator &operator--()    { std::cout << "--decrement\n"; return *this; }
  my_iterator  operator++(int) { std::cout << "increment++\n"; return my_iterator(); }
  my_iterator &operator++()    { std::cout << "++increment\n"; return *this; }

  int &operator*() { std::cout << "*dereference\n"; return d_val; }

  bool operator==(my_iterator const  &o) { return false; }
  bool operator!=(my_iterator const  &o) { return true ; }
};


int main() {
  auto it = std::reverse_iterator<my_iterator>();
  int &i = *it;
  if (true)
  {
    std::cout << i << '\n';
  }
  else
  {
    std::vector<int> vec;
    vec.push_back(i);
    std::cout << vec[0] << '\n';
  }
}

if-branch导致内存违规,正如valgrind正确检测到的那样:

else分支不会导致内存违规,或者至少在我的valgrind可以检测到的情况下。但是,存储在向量中的值是随机的&#39;:

--decrement
*dereference
-16777520

我对发生的事情感到有些惊讶。迭代器应该一直在范围内,但引用似乎无效。为什么我会收到内存违规行为,而12是打印出来的,或者为什么我不能存储它们而存储12个不同的内容?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:7)

reverse_iterator不能与所谓的“存储迭代器”一起使用,迭代器返回对它们内部事物的引用。 operator*的{​​{1}}生成包装迭代器的副本,递减它,并返回解除引用副本的结果。因此,如果解除引用迭代器返回对其自身内部内容的引用,则引用将变为悬空。

在C ++ 11规范中尝试使其工作,但事实证明,如果不为非存储迭代器添加大量开销 * ,则无法实现,因此{{3 }}


* 为了支持“存储迭代器”,必须添加一个额外的数据成员来存储递减的当前迭代器,使reverse_iterator的大小加倍;然后必须使用某种形式的同步,因为reverse_iteratoroperator * - 因此必须同时从多个线程调用而不会导致数据竞争 - 但必须修改此附加数据成员。对于这种不常见的用例,添加到所有const的开销很大。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

如前所述,C ++ 03和C ++ 14标准以这种方式定义reverse_iterator::operator*

  

24.5.1.3.4 operator* [reverse.iter.op.star]

     

reference operator*() const;

     

1效果:

Iterator tmp = current;
return *--tmp;
tmp返回后

operator*被销毁,因此对tmp内存储的数据的任何引用都将无效。 C ++ 11标准改变了这一点,并添加了一个注释:

  

24.5.1.3.4 operator* [reverse.iter.op.star]

     

reference operator*() const;

     

1效果:

deref_tmp = current;
--deref_tmp;
return *deref_tmp;
  

2 [注意:此操作必须使用辅助成员变量而不是   一个临时变量,以避免返回超出的引用   其关联迭代器的生命周期。 (见24.2。) - 后注]

由于const上的operator*限定符,实际上无法实现,所以在C ++ 11和C ++ 14之间还原了。

最好的解决方案可能是根据您所针对的C ++版本的C ++ 11措辞实现自己的reverse_iterator版本。幸运的是,该规范非常简单易懂。作为一个工作示例,这是我为C ++ 14写的一个:

template <class Iterator>
class stashing_reverse_iterator :
  public std::iterator<
    typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::iterator_category,
    typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::value_type,
    typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::difference_type,
    typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::pointer,
    typename std::iterator_traits<Iterator>::reference
  > {
  typedef std::iterator_traits<Iterator> traits_type;
public:
  typedef Iterator iterator_type;
  typedef typename traits_type::difference_type difference_type;
  typedef typename traits_type::reference       reference;
  typedef typename traits_type::pointer         pointer;

  stashing_reverse_iterator() : current() {}

  explicit stashing_reverse_iterator(Iterator x) : current(x) {}

  template <class U>
  stashing_reverse_iterator(const stashing_reverse_iterator<U>& u) : current(u.current) {}

  template <class U>
  stashing_reverse_iterator& operator=(const stashing_reverse_iterator<U>& u) {
    current = u.base();
    return *this;
  }

  Iterator base() const {
    return current;
  }

  // Differs from reverse_iterator::operator*:
  // 1. const qualifier removed
  // 2. current iterator is stored in a member field to ensure references are
  //    always valid after this function returns
  reference operator*() {
    deref_tmp = current;
    --deref_tmp;
    return *deref_tmp;
  }

  pointer operator->() const {
    return std::addressof(operator*());
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator& operator++() {
    --current;
    return *this;
  }

 stashing_reverse_iterator operator++(int) {
    stashing_reverse_iterator tmp = *this;
    --current;
    return tmp;
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator& operator--() {
    ++current;
    return *this;
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator operator--(int) {
    stashing_reverse_iterator tmp = *this;
    ++current;
    return tmp;
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator  operator+ (difference_type n) const {
    return stashing_reverse_iterator(current - n);
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator& operator+=(difference_type n) {
    current -= n;
    return *this;
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator  operator- (difference_type n) const {
    return stashing_reverse_iterator(current + n);
  }

  stashing_reverse_iterator& operator-=(difference_type n) {
    current += n;
    return *this;
  }

  // Differs from reverse_iterator::operator[]:
  // 1. const qualifier removed because this function makes use of operator*
  reference operator[](difference_type n) {
    return *(*this + n);
  }

protected:
  Iterator current;
private:
  Iterator deref_tmp;
};

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator==(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return x.base() == y.base(); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator<(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return x.base() > y.base(); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator!=(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return !(x.base() == y.base()); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator>(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return x.base() < y.base(); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator>=(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return x.base() <= y.base(); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
bool operator<=(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y)
{ return x.base() >= y.base(); }

template <class Iterator1, class Iterator2>
auto operator-(
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator1>& x,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator2>& y) -> decltype(y.base() - x.base())
{ return y.base() - x.base(); }

template <class Iterator>
stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator> operator+(
  typename stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator>::difference_type n,
  const stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator>& x)
{ return stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator>(x.base() - n); }

template <class Iterator>
stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator> make_stashing_reverse_iterator(Iterator i)
{ return stashing_reverse_iterator<Iterator>(i); }

用法与reverse_iterator相同:

// prints 5,4,3,2,1, for a sanely implemented number_iterator
std::copy(
  make_stashing_reverse_iterator(number_iterator(5)),
  make_stashing_reverse_iterator(number_iterator(0)),
  std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, ","));
