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.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename _Container > _Container std::back_insert_iterator< _Container >::container_type

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

output_iterator_tag std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >::iterator_category [inherited]

One of the tag types.

void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >::pointer [inherited]

This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.

void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >::reference [inherited]

This type represents a reference-to-value_type.

void std::iterator< output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void >::value_type [inherited]

The type 'pointed to' by the iterator.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

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

Member Function Documentation

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

Simply returns *this.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
