In C++11 I use std::next because If I want to change vector to list, I dont have to change the rest of code.
For list, std::next is O(n), because I need to iterate all elements. But how is it for a vector? I have found this note on cppreference:
However, if
InputItorForwardItadditionally meets the requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator, complexity is constant.
Does vector meet these requirements? And why "Legacy"?

I know that, but I dont know If it aplies to vector, since I dont understand LegacyRandomAccessIterator. Why Legacy?

@MartinPerry Follow the link? In the page you pull the quote from, the word "LegacyRandomAccessIterator" is a link to an explanation about it. And for vectors, iterators are (legacy) random-access iterators (as you should be able to find out in thestd::vectorreference).

There is a plan of adding concepts (compile time type constraints) in C++20. The new standard is supposed to contain concepts like InputIterator or RandomAccessIterator. To distinguish between the concepts and the old trait-like requirements cppreference uses LegacyRandomAccessIterator and so on for pre-concept requirements and RandomAccessIterator and so for concept requirements.
And so yes, std::vector::iterator meets requirements of LegacyRandomAccessIterator and actually will be fulfilling RandomAccessIterator concept as well. This leads straight to conclusion that std::next called on vector::iterator has complexity O(1).

Yes, it does:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector
Quote: "iterator LegacyRandomAccessIterator"
And why "Legacy"?
The existing iterators have been renamed "legacy" because of the upcoming C++ library feature called ranges, which is a replacement for the current approach. Ranges will have new iterators. The existing ones will still be there, thus they're called "legacy."
