## Detailed Description

Basic functionality for a *safe* iterator.

The \_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base base class implements the functionality of a safe local iterator that is not specific to a particular iterator type. It contains a pointer back to the container it references along with iterator version information and pointers to form a doubly-linked list of local iterators referenced by the container.

This class must not perform any operations that can throw an exception, or the exception guarantees of derived iterators will be broken.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### \_\_gnu\_debug::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base () \[inline\], \[protected\]

Initializes the iterator and makes it singular.

Referenced by **\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base()**.

### \_\_gnu\_debug::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base (const \_Safe\_unordered\_container\_base \* \_\_seq, bool \_\_constant) \[inline\], \[protected\]

Initialize the iterator to reference the container pointed to by \_\_seq. \_\_constant is true when we are initializing a constant local iterator, and false if it is a mutable local iterator. Note that \_\_seq may be NULL, in which case the iterator will be singular. Otherwise, the iterator will reference \_\_seq and be nonsingular.

References **\_M\_attach()**.

### \_\_gnu\_debug::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base::\_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base (const \_Safe\_local\_iterator\_base & \_\_x, bool \_\_constant) \[inline\], \[protected\]

Initializes the iterator to reference the same container that \_\_x does. \_\_constant is true if this is a constant iterator, and false if it is mutable.
