27.7.3.6.3 basic_ostream::operator<< [ostream.inserters]

basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<< (basic_ostream<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_ostream<charT,traits>&))

1

Effects: None. Does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

2

Returns: pf(*this).328

basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<< (basic_ios<charT,traits>& (*pf)(basic_ios<charT,traits>&))

3

Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

4

Returns: *this.329

basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<< (ios_base& (*pf)(ios_base&))

5

Effects: Calls pf(*this). This inserter does not behave as a formatted output function (as described in [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

6

Returns: *this.

basic_ostream<charT,traits>& operator<< (basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);

7

Effects: Behaves as an unformatted output function (as described in [ostream.unformatted], paragraph 1). After the sentry object is constructed, if sb is null calls setstate(badbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure).

8

Gets characters from sb and inserts them in *this. Characters are read from sb and inserted until any of the following occurs:

  • (8.1)

    end-of-file occurs on the input sequence;

  • (8.2)

    inserting in the output sequence fails (in which case the character to be inserted is not extracted);

  • (8.3)

    an exception occurs while getting a character from sb.

9

If the function inserts no characters, it calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base::failure ([iostate.flags])). If an exception was thrown while extracting a character, the function sets failbit in error state, and if failbit is on in exceptions() the caught exception is rethrown.

10

Returns: *this.
