<h1>Filter Iterator Adaptor</h1>
Defined in header
<a href="../../boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp">boost/iterator_adaptors.hpp</a>
<p>
The filter iterator adaptor creates a view of an iterator range in
which some elements of the range are skipped over. A <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Predicate.html">Predicate</a>
function object controls which elements are skipped. When the
predicate is applied to an element, if it returns <tt>true</tt> then
the element is retained and if it returns <tt>false</tt> then the
element is skipped over.
<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<pre>
namespace boost {
template &lt;class Predicate, class BaseIterator, ...&gt;
class filter_iterator_generator;
template &lt;class Predicate, class BaseIterator&gt;
typename filter_iterator_generator&lt;Predicate, BaseIterator&gt;::type
make_filter_iterator(BaseIterator first, BaseIterator last, const Predicate& p = Predicate());
}
</pre>

<h2><a name="filter_iterator_generator">The Filter Iterator Type
Generator</a></h2>
The class <tt>filter_iterator_generator</tt> is a helper class whose
purpose is to construct a filter iterator type. The template
parameters for this class are the <tt>Predicate</tt> function object
type and the <tt>BaseIterator</tt> type that is being wrapped. In
most cases the associated types for the wrapped iterator can be
deduced from <tt>std::iterator_traits</tt>, but in some situations the
user may want to override these types, so there are also template
parameters for each of the iterator's associated types.
<pre>
template &lt;class Predicate, class BaseIterator,
class Value, class Reference, class Pointer, class Category, class Distance>
class filter_iterator_generator
{
public:
typedef <tt><a href="./iterator_adaptors.htm#iterator_adaptor">iterator_adaptor</a>&lt...&gt;</tt> type; // the resulting filter iterator type
}
</pre>
<h3>Example</h3>
The following example uses filter iterator to print out all the
positive integers in an array.
<pre>
struct is_positive_number {
bool operator()(int x) { return 0 &lt; x; }
};
int main() {
int numbers[] = { 0, -1, 4, -3, 5, 8, -2 };
const int N = sizeof(numbers)/sizeof(int);
typedef boost::filter_iterator_generator&lt;is_positive_number, int*, int&gt;::type FilterIter;
is_positive_number predicate;
FilterIter::policies_type policies(predicate, numbers + N);
FilterIter filter_iter_first(numbers, policies);
FilterIter filter_iter_last(numbers + N, policies);
std::copy(filter_iter_first, filter_iter_last, std::ostream_iterator&lt;int&gt;(std::cout, " "));
std::cout &lt;&lt; std::endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
The output is:
<pre>
4 5 8
</pre>

<TH>Parameter</TH><TH>Description</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Predicate.html"><tt>Predicate</tt></a></TD>
<TD>The function object that determines which elements are retained and which elements are skipped.
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>BaseIterator</tt></TD>
<TD>The iterator type being wrapped. This type must at least be a model

</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>Value</tt></TD>
<TD>The <tt>value_type</tt> of the resulting iterator,
unless const. If const, a conforming compiler strips constness for the
<tt>value_type</tt>. Typically the default for this parameter is the
appropriate type<a href="#1">[1]</a>.<br> <b>Default:</b>
<tt>std::iterator_traits&lt;BaseIterator&gt;::value_type</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>Reference</tt></TD>
<TD>The <tt>reference</tt> type of the resulting iterator, and in
particular, the result type of <tt>operator*()</tt>. Typically the default for
this parameter is the appropriate type.<br> <b>Default:</b> If
<tt>Value</tt> is supplied, <tt>Value&amp;</tt> is used. Otherwise
<tt>std::iterator_traits&lt;BaseIterator&gt;::reference</tt> is
used.</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>Pointer</tt></TD>
<TD>The <tt>pointer</tt> type of the resulting iterator, and in
particular, the result type of <tt>operator->()</tt>.
Typically the default for
this parameter is the appropriate type.<br>
<b>Default:</b> If <tt>Value</tt> was supplied, then <tt>Value*</tt>,
otherwise <tt>std::iterator_traits&lt;BaseIterator&gt;::pointer</tt>.</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>Category</tt></TD>
<TD>The <tt>iterator_category</tt> type for the resulting iterator.
Typically the
default for this parameter is the appropriate type. If you override
this parameter, do not use <tt>bidirectional_iterator_tag</tt>
because filter iterators can not go in reverse.<br>
<b>Default:</b> <tt>std::iterator_traits&lt;BaseIterator&gt;::iterator_category</tt></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><tt>Distance</tt></TD>
<TD>The <tt>difference_type</tt> for the resulting iterator. Typically the default for
this parameter is the appropriate type.<br>
<b>Default:</b> <tt>std::iterator_traits&lt;BaseIterator&gt;::difference_type</TD>

<h3>Model of</h3>
The filter iterator adaptor (the type
<tt>filter_iterator_generator<...>::type</tt>) may be a model of <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/InputIterator.html">InputIterator</a> or <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ForwardIterator.html">ForwardIterator</a>
depending on the adapted iterator type.
<h3>Members</h3>
The filter iterator type implements all of the member functions and
operators required of the <a
href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ForwardIterator.html">ForwardIterator</a>
concept. In addition it has the following constructor:
<pre>filter_iterator_generator::type(const BaseIterator& it, const Policies& p = Policies())</pre>
<p>
The policies type has only one public function, which is its constructor:
<pre>filter_iterator_generator::policies_type(const Predicate& p, const BaseIterator& end)</pre>
<p>
<hr>
<p>
<h2><a name="make_filter_iterator">The Make Filter Iterator Function</a></h2>
<pre>
template &lt;class Predicate, class BaseIterator&gt;
typename filter_generator&lt;Predicate, BaseIterator&gt;::type
make_filter_iterator(BaseIterator first, BaseIterator last, const Predicate& p = Predicate())
</pre>
This function provides a convenient way to create filter iterators.
<h3>Example</h3>
In this example we print out all numbers in the array that are
greater than negative two.
<pre>
int main()
{
int numbers[] = { 0, -1, 4, -3, 5, 8, -2 };
const int N = sizeof(numbers)/sizeof(int);
std::copy(boost::make_filter_iterator(numbers, numbers + N,
std::bind2nd(std::greater<int>(), -2)),
boost::make_filter_iterator(numbers + N, numbers + N,
std::bind2nd(std::greater<int>(), -2)),
std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
std::cout << std::endl;
}
</pre>
The output is:
<pre>
0 -1 4 5 8
</pre>
<p>
In the next example we print the positive numbers using the
<tt>make_filter_iterator()</tt> function.
<pre>
struct is_positive_number {
bool operator()(int x) { return 0 &lt; x; }
};
int main()
{
int numbers[] = { 0, -1, 4, -3, 5, 8, -2 };
const int N = sizeof(numbers)/sizeof(int);
std::copy(boost::make_filter_iterator&lt;is_positive_number&gt;(numbers, numbers + N),
boost::make_filter_iterator&lt;is_positive_number&gt;(numbers + N, numbers + N),
std::ostream_iterator&lt;int&gt;(std::cout, " "));
std::cout &lt;&lt; std::endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
The output is:
<pre>
4 5 8
</pre>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<a name="1">[1]</a> If the compiler does not support partial
specialization and the wrapped iterator type is a builtin pointer then
the <tt>Value</tt> type must be explicitly specified (don't use the
default).
