1,2) Constructs the end-of-stream iterator , value-initializes the stored value. This constructor is constexpr if the initializer in the definition auto x = T ( ) ; is a constant initializer (since C++11) .
3) Initializes the iterator, stores the address of stream in a data member, and performs the first read from the input stream to initialize the cached value data member.
4) Constructs a copy of other . If std:: is_trivially_copy_constructible < T > :: value is true , this copy constructor is a trivial copy constructor. (since C++11)

Parameters

stream - stream to initialize the istream_iterator with
other - another istream_iterator of the same type

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <sstream>
 
int main()
{
    std::istringstream stream("1 2 3 4 5");
    std::copy(
        std::istream_iterator<int>(stream),
        std::istream_iterator<int>(),
        std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " ")
    );
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5

Defect reports

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

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 1280 C++98 overload (3) stored stream directly stores its address instead
P0738R2 C++98 the first read might be deferred to the first dereference always performed in the constructor
