Discussion:
Which header must a user #include to obtain the library-supplied
concept_maps declared in this paragraph?
This is important information, as existing user code will break if this
header is not included, and we should make a point of mandating this header
is #include-d by library headers likely to make use of it, notably
<algorithm>. See issue 1001 for more details.
[ Batavia (2009-05): ]
We agree with the direction of the proposed resolution. Move to Tentatively Ready.
[ 2009-07 Frankfurt ]
We believe this is NAD Concepts, but this needs to be reviewed against the post-remove-concepts draft.
Proposed resolution:
Change [depr.lib.iterator.primitives], Iterator primitives, as indicated:
To simplify the use of iterators and provide backward compatibility with previous C++ Standard Libraries, the library provides several classes and functions. Unless otherwise specified, these classes and functions shall be defined in header
<iterator>.
Change 99 [iterator.backward], Iterator backward compatibility, as indicated:
The library provides concept maps that allow iterators specified with
iterator_traitsto interoperate with algorithms that require iterator concepts. These concept maps shall be defined in the same header that defines the iterator. [Example:
