NAME

std::back_insert_iterator< _Container > - Turns assignment into insertion.

SYNOPSIS

Inherits std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >.

Public Types

typedef _Container container_type
A nested typedef for the type of whatever container you used.
typedef void difference_type
Distance between iterators is represented as this type.
typedef output_iterator_tag iterator_category
One of the tag types.
typedef void pointer
This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.
typedef void reference
This type represents a reference-to-value_type.
typedef void value_type
The type 'pointed to' by the iterator.

Public Member Functions

back_insert_iterator (_Container &__x)

back_insert_iterator & operator * ()
Simply returns *this.
back_insert_iterator & operator++ ()
Simply returns *this. (This iterator does not move.)
back_insert_iterator operator++ (int)
Simply returns *this. (This iterator does not move.)
back_insert_iterator & operator= (const typename _Container::value_type &__value)

back_insert_iterator & operator= (typename _Container::value_type &&__value)

Protected Attributes

Detailed Description

template<typename _Container>

class std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >" Turns assignment into insertion.

These are output iterators, constructed from a container-of-T. Assigning a T to the iterator appends it to the container using push_back.

Tip: Using the back_inserter function to create these iterators can save typing.

This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.

Definition at line 127 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _Container > std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::back_insert_iterator (_Container & __x) [inline], [explicit]

The only way to create this iterator is with a container.

Definition at line 467 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename _Container > back_insert_iterator& std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::operator * () [inline]

Simply returns *this.

Definition at line 506 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Container > back_insert_iterator& std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::operator++ () [inline]

Simply returns *this. (This iterator does not move.)

Definition at line 511 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Container > back_insert_iterator std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::operator++ (int) [inline]

Simply returns *this. (This iterator does not move.)

Definition at line 516 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

template<typename _Container > back_insert_iterator& std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::operator= (const typename _Container::value_type & __value) [inline]

Parameters:

: __value An instance of whatever type container_type::const_reference is; presumably a reference-to-const T for container<T>.

Returns:

: This iterator, for chained operations.

This kind of iterator doesn't really have a position in the container (you can think of the position as being permanently at the end, if you like). Assigning a value to the iterator will always append the value to the end of the container.
