252 * The following provides an 'alternative pointer' that works with

255 *
256 * The pointer type used with the containers doesn't have to be this
257 * class, but it must support the implicit conversions, pointer
258 * arithmetic, comparison operators, etc. that are supported by this
259 * class, and avoid raising compile-time ambiguities. Because
260 * creating a working pointer can be challenging, this pointer
261 * template was designed to wrapper an easier storage policy type,
262 * so that it becomes reusable for creating other pointer types.
263 *
264 * A key point of this class is also that it allows container
265 * writers to 'assume' Allocator::pointer is a typedef for a normal
266 * pointer. This class supports most of the conventions of a true
267 * pointer, and can, for instance handle implicit conversion to
268 * const and base class pointer types. The only impositions on
269 * container writers to support extended pointers are: 1) use the
270 * Allocator::pointer typedef appropriately for pointer types. 2)
271 * if you need pointer casting, use the __pointer_cast<> functions
272 * from ext/cast.h. This allows pointer cast operations to be
273 * overloaded as necessary by custom pointers.
274 *
275 * Note: The const qualifier works with this pointer adapter as
276 * follows:
277 *
278 * _Tp* == _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<_Tp> >;
279 * const _Tp* == _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<const _Tp> >;
280 * _Tp* const == const _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<_Tp> >;
281 * const _Tp* const == const _Pointer_adapter<_Std_pointer_impl<const _Tp> >;
