std::istrea...r::operator*(3)

💅 std::istreambuf_iterator::operator* 💅

Okay bestie, welcome to the std::istreambuf_iterator::operator* page from the C++ Standard Libary manual — and yes, it’s spelled “Libary” in the manual, not me 💀. The header shortens the title all cute and chaotic as std::istrea...r::operator*(3), but we’re talking about the full name, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

The name is std::istreambuf_iterator::operator* — and the page lists it as std::istreambuf_iterator::operator* - std::istreambuf_iterator::operator*, because apparently one name wasn’t enough 🫶.

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

CharT operator*() const;

Reads a single character by calling sbuf_->sgetc() where sbuf_ is the stored pointer to the stream buffer.

⚠️ Danger zone, bestie: the behavior is undefined if the iterator is end-of-stream iterator. Like, literally undefined. Do not test it 🙈.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — nothing to pass in, icon behavior 💅.

⭐ Return value ⭐

The value of the obtained character. That’s the whole vibe ✨.

🔥 Exceptions 🔥

May throw implementation-defined exceptions. So like, it might throw something, and the implementation gets to decide the details — iykyk 😭.
