std::insert_iterator
 
Defined in header <iterator>
template< class Container >

class insert_iterator : public std::iterator<std::output_iterator_tag,

                                             void, void, void, void>
 (until 哋它亢++17)
template< class Container >
class insert_iterator;
 (since 哋它亢++17)

std::insert_iterator is a LegacyOutputIterator that inserts elements into a container for which it was constructed, at the position pointed to by the supplied iterator. The container's insert() member function is called whenever the iterator (whether dereferenced or not) is assigned to. Incrementing the std::insert_iterator is a no-op.

Member types

container_type Container

Member types iterator_category, value_type, difference_type, pointer and reference are required to be obtained by inheriting from std::iterator<std::output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void>.

Example

Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::list<int> l{-1, -2, -3};
    std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), // may be simplified with std::inserter
              std::insert_iterator<std::list<int>>(l, std::next(l.begin()))); 
    for (int n : l)
        std::cout << n << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output: 

-1 1 2 3 4 5 -2 -3
