Previously calling
roaring64_iterator_previous
afterroaring64_iterator_advance
returned false would not move the iterator. With this commit, this behavior and its inverse are both possible.I chose to implement this by adding a new field in the iterator to indicate saturation. Another option would be to allow the ART iterator to allow moving from beyond the start / end, but that would require changing the index to a signed integer and thus take up more space.
