std::output_iterator(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::output_iterator(3) |
NAME¶
std::output_iterator - std::output_iterator
Synopsis¶
Defined in header <iterator>
template <class I, class T>
concept output_iterator =
std::input_or_output_iterator<I> &&
std::indirectly_writable<I, T> && (since C++20)
requires(I i, T&& t) {
*i++ = std::forward<T>(t); // not required to be
equality-preserving
};
The output_iterator concept is a refinement of input_or_output_iterator,
adding the
requirement that it can be used to write values of type and value category
encoded
by T (via indirectly_writable). equality_comparable is not required.
Semantic requirements
Let E be an expression such that decltype((E)) is T, and i be a
dereferenceable
object of type I. output_iterator<I, T> is modeled only if all the
concepts it
subsumes are modeled, and *i++ = E; has effects equivalent to *i = E;
++i;.
Equality preservation
An expression is equality preserving if it results in equal outputs given
equal
inputs.
* The inputs to an expression consist of its operands.
* The outputs of an expression consist of its result and all operands
modified by
the expression (if any).
In specification of standard concepts, operands are defined as the largest
subexpressions that include only:
* an id-expression, and
* invocations of std::move, std::forward, and std::declval.
The cv-qualification and value category of each operand is determined by
assuming
that each template type parameter denotes a cv-unqualified complete non-array
object
type.
Every expression required to be equality preserving is further required to be
stable: two evaluations of such an expression with the same input objects
must have
equal outputs absent any explicit intervening modification of those input
objects.
Notes¶
Unlike the LegacyOutputIterator requirements, the output_iterator
concept does not
require that the iterator category tag be defined.
Algorithms on output iterators should be single pass.
