Detailed Description

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

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

typedef _Container container_type

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

Definition at line 391 of file stl_iterator.h.

typedef _Distance difference_type [inherited]

Distance between iterators is represented as this type.

Reimplemented in reverse_iterator.

Definition at line 113 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

typedef _Category iterator_category [inherited]

One of the tag types.

Definition at line 109 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

typedef _Pointer pointer [inherited]

This type represents a pointer-to-value_type.

Reimplemented in reverse_iterator.

Definition at line 115 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

typedef _Reference reference [inherited]

This type represents a reference-to-value_type.

Reimplemented in reverse_iterator.

Definition at line 117 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.

typedef _Tp value_type [inherited]

The type "pointed to" by the iterator.

Definition at line 111 of file stl_iterator_base_types.h.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

back_insert_iterator ( _Container &  __x  )  [inline, explicit]

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

Definition at line 395 of file stl_iterator.h.


Member Function Documentation

back_insert_iterator& operator* (  )  [inline]

Simply returns *this.

Definition at line 417 of file stl_iterator.h.

back_insert_iterator operator++ ( int   )  [inline]

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

Definition at line 427 of file stl_iterator.h.

back_insert_iterator& operator++ (  )  [inline]

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

Definition at line 422 of file stl_iterator.h.

back_insert_iterator& operator= ( typename _Container::const_reference  __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.
