Detailed Description

template<typename _Container>
class std::insert_iterator< _Container >

Turns assignment into insertion.

These are output iterators, constructed from a container-of-T. Assigning a T to the iterator inserts it in the container at the iterator's position, rather than overwriting the value at that position.

(Sequences will actually insert a copy of the value before the iterator's position.)

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

Member Typedef Documentation

container_type

template<typename _Container >

typedef _Container std::insert_iterator< _Container >::container_type

A nested typedef for the type of whatever container you used.

Definition at line 845 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

difference_type

typedef void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag , void , void , void , void >::difference_type

inherited

Distance between iterators is represented as this type.

Definition at line 134 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

iterator_category

typedef output_iterator_tag std::iterator< output_iterator_tag , void , void , void , void >::iterator_category

inherited

One of the tag types.

Definition at line 130 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

pointer

typedef void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag , void , void , void , void >::pointer

inherited

This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.

Definition at line 136 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

reference

typedef void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag , void , void , void , void >::reference

inherited

This type represents a reference-to-value_type.

Definition at line 138 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

value_type

typedef void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag , void , void , void , void >::value_type

inherited

The type "pointed to" by the iterator.

Definition at line 132 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

insert_iterator()

template<typename _Container >

constexpr std::insert_iterator< _Container >::insert_iterator ( _Container &  __x, _Iter  __i  )

inlineconstexpr

The only way to create this iterator is with a container and an initial position (a normal iterator into the container).

Definition at line 858 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

Member Function Documentation

operator*()

template<typename _Container >

constexpr insert_iterator& std::insert_iterator< _Container >::operator* ( )

inlineconstexpr

Simply returns *this.

Definition at line 915 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

operator++() [1/2]

template<typename _Container >

constexpr insert_iterator& std::insert_iterator< _Container >::operator++ ( )

inlineconstexpr

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

Definition at line 921 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

operator++() [2/2]

template<typename _Container >

constexpr insert_iterator& std::insert_iterator< _Container >::operator++ ( int  )

inlineconstexpr

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

Definition at line 927 of file bits/stl_iterator.h.

operator=()

template<typename _Container >

constexpr insert_iterator& std::insert_iterator< _Container >::operator= ( const typename _Container::value_type &  __value )

inlineconstexpr

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 maintains its own position in the container. Assigning a value to the iterator will insert the value into the container at the place before the iterator.

The position is maintained such that subsequent assignments will insert values immediately after one another. For example,

// vector v contains A and Z
 
insert_iterator i (v, ++v.begin());
i = 1;
i = 2;
i = 3;
 
// vector v contains A, 1, 2, 3, and Z
