A fallible iterator is one whose increment or decrement operations may fail.
This would usually be supported by replacing the ++ and -- operators with
methods that return error:
class MyFallibleIterator {
public:
// ...
Error inc();
Errro dec();
// ...
};
The downside of this style is that it no longer conforms to the C++ iterator
concept, and can not make use of standard algorithms and features such as
range-based for loops.
The fallible_iterator wrapper takes an iterator written in the style above
and adapts it to (mostly) conform with the C++ iterator concept. It does this
by providing standard ++ and -- operator implementations, returning any errors
generated via a side channel (an Error reference passed into the wrapper at
construction time), and immediately jumping the iterator to a known 'end'
value upon error. It also marks the Error as checked any time an iterator is
compared with a known end value and found to be inequal, allowing early exit
from loops without redundant error checking*.
Usage looks like:
MyFallibleIterator I = ..., E = ...;
Error Err = Error::success();
for (auto &Elem : make_fallible_range(I, E, Err)) {
// Loop body is only entered when safe.
// Early exits from loop body permitted without checking Err.
if (SomeCondition)
return;
}
if (Err)
// Handle error.
* Since failure causes a fallible iterator to jump to end, testing that a
fallible iterator is not an end value implicitly verifies that the error is a
success value, and so is equivalent to an error check.
