std::experi...::operator++(3)

✨ std::experi...::operator++(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the std::experi...::operator++(3) page from the C++ Standard Libary manual — yes, that's the manual name, and we're keeping it exactly as printed 💀. This one is about the increment operators on std::experimental::ostream_joiner, and it's short, sweet, and lowkey iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::experimental::ostream_joiner::operator++ - std::experimental::ostream_joiner::operator++

no cap, that's the whole name bestie 🫶

✨ Synopsis ✨

Two overloads, both tagged (library fundamentals TS v2), both noexcept:

ostream_joiner& operator++() noexcept;       (library fundamentals TS v2)
ostream_joiner& operator++( int ) noexcept;  (library fundamentals TS v2)

Okay so what do they actually do? literally nothing. The page says it straight up: does nothing. These operator overloads are provided to satisfy the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator. They make it possible for the expressions *iter++=value and *++iter=value to be used to output (insert) a value into the underlying stream. it's giving “increment? never heard of her” 💅

💅 Parameters 💅

(none) — zero parameters, not a single one, nada. 💖

🎀 Return value 🎀

*this — that's the return value, periodt. it just hands you back *this and minds its own business. 🌸
