libwrapiter 1.2.0

libwrapiter is a library that provides wrappers for C++ STL style iterators.
It makes it easy to define generic iterator wrappers, which remove the need to expose underlying data structures when working with classes using STL containers.
Purpose:
Consider the following massively oversimplified example. Were using the private implementation pattern or pimpl to avoid sticking too much in the header files.
myproject/myclass.hh without libwrapiter
#include < list >
namespace myproject
{
class MyClass
{
private:
///name implementation data, using the private implementation pattern
///{
struct Implementation;
Implementation * _imp;
///}
///name disallow copying and assignment
///{
MyClass(const MyClass &);
const MyClass & operator= (const MyClass &);
///}
public:
MyClass();
~MyClass();
///name iterate over our items
///{
typedef std::list ::const_iterator Iterator;
Iterator begin() const;
Iterator end() const;
///}
};
}
Enhancements:
- Headers are now split into -fwd, -decl, and -impl, allowing finer grained control to give faster compile times.
- The old, undecorated header paths are still fine if you dont need this kind of control.
- libwrapiter has a new homepage.
