The interface of Gecode iterators has different requirements (typical
usage, efficiency) than the iterator-style used by STL.

If you need to use stl-iterators with Gecode and vice-versa, writing
wrappers to convert iterator-behaviour is not that complicated though.

Operations such as these are available for iterators in Gecode. The
documentation for these operations are available at [1]. For some more
information about iterators and views (used when implementing
propagators), see the paper at [2].
