that "base" returns a reverse iterator instead. This is not specific
with ptr_vector. All the pointer containers seem to have this problem.
Indeed they have. Thay always return the iterators with void*
value_type. It's my oversigt.
I haven't tried it, but to get an iterator given a reverse iterator, one
should be able to do
iterator i( ri.base().base() );
Looks pretty ugly.
