        <pre>`pointer_iterator` inherits from `iterator_adaptor_base` but doesn't pass the
underlying iterator's category, so its value type will always be defaulted and
its category will often be incorrect.

The incorrect code is here:

<a href="https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/10c84a8f35cae4a9fc421648d9608fccda3925f2/include/llvm/ADT/iterator.h#L312">https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/10c84a8f35cae4a9fc421648d9608fccda3925f2/include/llvm/ADT/iterator.h#L312</a>

For comparison, `pointee_iterator` correctly  instantiates its base class here:
<a href="https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/10c84a8f35cae4a9fc421648d9608fccda3925f2/include/llvm/ADT/iterator.h#L288">https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/10c84a8f35cae4a9fc421648d9608fccda3925f2/include/llvm/ADT/iterator.h#L288</a></pre>
