Defined in header <experimental/iterator>
template< class DelimT, class CharT = char, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>> class ostream_joiner;		(library fundamentals TS v2)

std::experimental::ostream_joiner is a single-pass OutputIterator that writes successive objects into the std::basic_ostream object for which it was constructed, using operator<<, separated by a delimiter. The delimiter is written to the output stream between every two objects that are written. The write operation is performed when the iterator (whether dereferenced or not) is assigned to. Incrementing the ostream_joiner is a no-op.

In a typical implementation, the only data members of ostream_joiner are a pointer to the associated std::basic_ostream, the delimiter, and a bool member that indicates whether the next write is for the first element in the sequence.

Compared to std::ostream_iterator, ostream_joiner prints the delimiter sequence one fewer time, and is not templated on the type of the object to be printed.

Member functions

(constructor)	constructs a new ostream_joiner (public member function)
(destructor) (implicitly declared)	destructs an ostream_joiner (public member function)
operator=	writes a object to the associated output sequence (public member function)
operator*	no-op (public member function)
operator++operator++(int)	no-op (public member function)

Non-member functions

make_ostream_joiner

creates a ostream_joiner object, deducing the template's type arguments from the function arguments (function template)

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <experimental/iterator>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>

int main()
{
    int i[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::copy(std::begin(i),
              std::end(i),
              std::experimental::make_ostream_joiner(std::cout, ", "));
}

Output:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
