Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-6276:
---------------------------------------
We now have STL iterators in {{arrow/stl_iterator.h}} for a couple datatypes
(primitive, binary).
We could add syntactic sugar for indexed access, e.g.:
{code:c++}
typename IteratorType::ValueType operator[](int64_t i) {
return *IteratorType(*this, i);
}
{code}
> [C++] Add operator[] to some concrete Array implementations?

> Key: ARROW-6276
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6276
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
>
> I have occasionally been in situations where I want to pass in e.g.
> {{Int32Array}} or {{BooleanArray}} into a template that also can accept STL
> sequence types like {{std::vector<bool>}} -- in such cases the main API of
> interest is {{[]}}. Would there be interest in aliasing {{operator[]}} to
> return the result of {{GetView}} (or to deprecate {{GetView}} in favor of
> {{operator[]}})?
