iterator derived from constiterator or not?

Hello,

some projects define their iterator classes by deriving the non-const
iterator from const-iterator. Most projects don't. Does anything speak
against deriving or is it just a matter of taste?

regards,
alex

Hello, is it possible to derive from std::vector and derive also its iterator? If I do it like in the example below, I get a problem when I need the begin of the vector: begin() returns the derived iterator. I need the derived iterator in order to overload the operator++. But I want to use also std::vector<PBaseItem>::begin() in order...

Is it guaranteed that STL iterators are aggregate types and can thus be derived from? I'm thinking along the lines of, for example: class DerIter : public std::vector<int>::iterator {...}; My concern is whether the standard might allow an implementation to use a bare pointer as an iterator.

I understand why it is not safe to inherit from STL containers, but I have found (in SGI STL documentation) that for example bidirectional_iterator class can be used to create your own iterator classes by inheriting from it, ie. class my_bidirectional_iterator : public bidirectional_iterator<double> { ... };

I have an Element class which is abstract and I would like to have an object of the Iterator class to iterate over a range of elements. I would like to use std::for_each to instrument the iteration, which forces me to have certain interface on the Iterator class. struct Element { virtual ~Element() = 0; };

Hi, the following templated code doesn't compile. It gives the error: template_it.cc:17: error: type 'std::vector<Derived1<T>*, std::allocator<Derived1<T>*' is not derived from type 'Derived2<T>' template_it.cc:17: error: expected ';' before 'vi' However, the same code compiles fine when I don't use any templates.
