For example, this 7iterator adaptor makes it possible to view a container of pointers 8(e.g. ``list<foo*>``) as if it were a container of the pointed-to type 9(e.g. ``list<foo>``). ``indirect_iterator`` depends on two 10auxiliary traits, ``pointee`` and ``indirect_reference``, to 11provide support for underlying iterators whose ``value_type`` is 12not an iterator. 13 14 15 16
