</div></div><p dir="ltr">If this is any kind of common iterator it must have the usual/obvious copy semantics (that's an iterator requirement) - essentially copying the result of begin should be as good as calling begin twice or there's something very strange/surprising going on (which isn't unheard of in llvm's iterators - so feel free to correct/tell me these are weird iterators that require a special case - I've not looked at them enough to know either way yet)</p>

</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>Yeah, certainly worrying too much - iterators generally need to be cheap to copy & many algorithms will/should treat them as such. These ones certainly are, so far as I can tell - they're just SmallVector iterators, which are essentially just plain pointers (or the moral equivalent).</div>
