Subject: [Boost-users] [Iterator]Can dereference() in iterator_adaptor return a temporary value?

Hi, I'd like a const iterator that acts as a proxy by giving access to
elements of type A as if they were elements of unrelated type B. In that
case I guess the dereference() member function should return a temporary
value, right?
Would that be a correct implementation of the idea? Here I just want to
access an array of SourceVertexType as if it were an array of VertexType.
template<class VertexType>
class ConstVerticesIterator : public boost::iterator_adaptor<
ConstVerticesIterator<VertexType>, const SourceVertexType*, const VertexType
>
{
private:
friend class boost::iterator_core_access;
VertexType dereference() const
{
const SourceVertexType& source_vertex( *base() );
return VertexType( source_vertex.x, source_vertex.y );
}
public:
explicit ConstVerticesIterator( const SourceVertexType* vertices
)
:
boost::iterator_adaptor< ConstVerticesIterator<VertexType>,
const SourceVertexType*, const VertexType >( vertices )
{}
};
