[Boost-users] FW: custom iterator_adaptor::pointer

Dear boosters,

I'm trying to figure out why there is no way to define the 
iterator_adaptor's pointer type.
I'm trying to write an iterator that concurrently accesses 
two containers, but the interface should look like it's only 
one container. Therefore, it is necessary to write my own 
value, reference and pointer type. However, the 
iterator_adaptors pointer type is always value*.

Is it save to just overload the pointer typedef and reimplement 
operator->()?

I'm not too much of a c++ expert, so if anyone could comment 
on that, I would greatly appreciate it.

Christian
