Looking at the memory layout of Array and AnyIterator in Swift
import Foundation
struct P : CustomStringConvertible {
var p: OpaquePointer?
init(_ p: OpaquePointer?) {
self.p = p
}
var description: String {
return String(format: "0x%0*zx", 2 * MemoryLayout<UInt>.size, unsafeBitCast(p, to: UInt.self))
}
subscript(offset: Int) -> P {
return P(unsafeBitCast(p!, to: UnsafePointer<OpaquePointer?>.self).advanced(by: offset).pointee)
}
}
let xs = [10, 20, 30, 0xdeadbeef]
let it = AnyIterator(xs.makeIterator())
let xsPtr = P(unsafeBitCast(xs, to: OpaquePointer.self))
let itPtr = P(unsafeBitCast(it, to: OpaquePointer.self))
print("xs:", xsPtr, (0 ..< 8).map { xsPtr[$0] })
print("it:", itPtr, (0 ..< 4).map { itPtr[$0] })
while let x = it.next() {
print("it:", itPtr, (0 ..< 4).map { itPtr[$0] }, "x:", x)
}
