std::istrea...*,operator->(3)

💖 NAME 💖

std::istrea...*,operator->(3) — okay so this is the page from the C++ Standard Libary, and the actual name is std::istream_iterator::operator*,operator->, then it’s repeated because why not: std::istream_iterator::operator*,operator->.

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

Two signatures, bestie, both const, and the original numbers them (1) and (2):

const T& operator*() const;  (1)
const T* operator->() const; (2)

Returns a pointer or a reference to the current element. That’s the synopsis tea. ☕

⚠️ Undefined-behavior warning: the behavior is undefined if the iterator is end-of-stream iterator. Not a drill, not a cute little edge case, just undefined. 🙈

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — literally zero parameters. She takes nothing, bestie. 💅

✨ Return value ✨

A pointer or a reference to the current element. Periodt. 🫶

🔥 Exceptions 🔥

May throw implementation-defined exceptions. So the implementation gets to define them, iykyk. 😭

source/version/date moment: this one’s from http://cppreference.com, dated 2024.06.10, and the footer page name is std::istrea...*,operator->(3). Bye bestie, go slay your stream iterators 💖✨🎀
