NAME

std::ostreambuf_iterator::ostreambuf_iterator - std::ostreambuf_iterator::ostreambuf_iterator

Synopsis

ostreambuf_iterator( streambuf_type* buffer ) (until C++11)
throw();
ostreambuf_iterator( streambuf_type* buffer ) (since C++11)
noexcept; (1)
ostreambuf_iterator( ostream_type& stream ) (until C++11)
throw(); (2)
ostreambuf_iterator( ostream_type& stream ) (since C++11)
noexcept;

1) Constructs the iterator with the private streambuf_type* member set to buffer and
the failed() flag set to false. The behavior is undefined if buffer is a null
pointer.
2) Same as ostreambuf_iterator(stream.rdbuf()).

Parameters

stream - the output stream whose rdbuf() will be accessed by this iterator
buffer - the output stream buffer to be accessed by this iterator

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
int main()
{
std::basic_filebuf<char> f;
f.open("test.txt", std::ios::out);

std::ostreambuf_iterator<char> out1(&f);

std::ostreambuf_iterator<wchar_t> out2(std::wcout);

*out1 = 'a';
*out2 = L'a';
}

Defect reports

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
default constructor was provided as C++20 removed along with the
P2325R3 C++20 iterators requirement
