std::istream_iterator

Member functions

istream_iterator::istream_iterator

istream_iterator::~istream_iterator

istream_iterator::operator*istream_iterator::operator->

istream_iterator::operator++istream_iterator::operator++(int)

Non-member functions

operator==operator!= (until C++20)

 

istream_iterator& operator++();	(1)
istream_iterator operator++(int);	(2)

Reads a value from the underlying stream (using its operator>>) and stores it into the iterator object. If the read fails (the underlying stream's fail() returns true), the iterator becomes the end-of-stream iterator.

The behavior is undefined if the iterator is end-of-stream iterator.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

1) *this.

2) An istream_iterator that holds an unchanged value.

Exceptions

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR	Applied to	Behavior as published	Correct behavior
LWG 260	C++98	the return type of operator++(int) was istream_iterator&	corrected to istream_iterator
LWG 788	C++98	the underlying stream's operator void* was used to determine whether the read fails, but it was removed by the resolution of LWG issue 468	uses fail() instead
LWG 838	C++98	it was unclear whether end-of-stream iterators can be incremented	the behavior is undefined
