copy_backward or copy with reverse_iterators?

Question

In terms of practical usage what differences are there between

a) copy_backward

b) copy with reverse_iterators for source and destination

In particular is one more generally applicable than the other? Are there any other differences?

Update: If there's really no difference, then any reference in C++ literature to this equivalence is appreciated. The motivation behind this question is to understand if this was by design or one of those slip ups (like missing copy_if)

Answer 1

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/copy/ has a implementation of std::copy

http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/copy_backward/ has a implementation of std::copy_backward

You can see the differences by yourself.

Note: If I were you I would use std::copy_backward, because calling std::copy with the std::reverse_iterator<T> class might be a little slower (it needs more memory than a bidirectional iterator)
