<h3>Description</h3>
An Output Iterator is a type that provides a mechanism for storing
(but not necessarily accessing) a sequence of values. Output
Iterators are in some sense the converse of <A href="InputIterator.html">Input Iterators</A>, but
they have a far more restrictive interface: they do not necessarily support
member access or equality, and they do not necessarily have either an
associated distance type or even a value type <A href="#1">[1]</A>. Intuitively, one
picture of an Output Iterator is a tape: you can write a value to the
current location and you can advance to the next location, but you
cannot read values and you cannot back up or rewind.
<h3>Refinement of</h3>

<h3>Definitions</h3>
If <tt>x</tt> is an Output Iterator of type <tt>X</tt>, then the expression <tt>*x =
t;</tt> stores the value <tt>t</tt> into <tt>x</tt>. Note that <tt>operator=</tt>, like other
C++ functions, may be overloaded; it may, in fact, even be a template
function. In general, then, <tt>t</tt> may be any of several different
types. A type <tt>T</tt> belongs to the <i>set of value types</i> of <tt>X</tt>
if, for an object <tt>t</tt> of type <tt>T</tt>, <tt>*x = t;</tt> is well-defined and
does not require performing any non-trivial conversions on <tt>t</tt>. <A href="#1">[1]</A>
<P>
An Output Iterator may be <i>singular</i>, meaning that the results of
most operations, including copying and dereference assignment, are
undefined. The only operation that is guaranteed to be supported is
assigning a nonsingular iterator to a singular iterator.
<P>
An Output Iterator may be <i>dereferenceable</i>, meaning that
assignment through it is defined. Dereferenceable iterators are always
nonsingular, but nonsingular iterators are not necessarily
dereferenceable.

<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
Other iterator types, including <A href="trivial.html">Trivial Iterator</A> and
<A href="InputIterator.html">Input Iterator</A>, define the notion of a <i>value type</i>, the type returned
when an iterator is dereferenced. This notion does not apply to
Output Iterators, however, since the dereference operator (unary
<tt>operator*</tt>) does not return a usable value for Output Iterators. The
only context in which the dereference operator may be used is
assignment through an output iterator: <tt>*x = t</tt>. Although
<A href="InputIterator.html">Input Iterators</A> and output iterators are roughly symmetrical concepts,
there is an important sense in which accessing and storing values are
not symmetrical: for an <A href="InputIterator.html">Input Iterator</A> <tt>operator*</tt> must return a
unique type, but, for an Output Iterator, in the expression <tt>*x = t</tt>,
there is no reason why <tt>operator=</tt> must take a unique type. <A href="#5">[5]</A>
Consequently, there need not be any unique "value type" for Output Iterators.
<P><A name="2">[2]</A>
There should be only one active copy of a single Output Iterator at
any one time. That is: after creating and using a copy <tt>x</tt> of
an Output Iterator <tt>y</tt>, the original output iterator <tt>y</tt> should no
longer be used.
<P><A name="3">[3]</A>
Assignment through an Output Iterator <tt>x</tt> is expected to alternate with
incrementing <tt>x</tt>, and there must be an assignment through <tt>x</tt> before
<tt>x</tt> is ever incremented. Any other order of operations results in
undefined behavior. That is: <tt>{*x = t</tt>; ++x; *x = t2; ++x}<tt> is
acceptable, but </tt>{*x = t<tt>; ++x; ++x; *x = t2;}</tt> is not.
<P><A name="4">[4]</A>
Note that an Output Iterator need not define comparison for equality.
Even if an <tt>operator==</tt> is defined, <tt>x == y</tt> need not imply
<tt>++x == ++y</tt>.
<P><A name="5">[5]</A>
If you are implementing an Output Iterator class <tt>X</tt>, one
sensible way to define <tt>*x = t</tt> is to define <tt>X::operator*()</tt> to
return an object of some private class <tt>X_proxy</tt>, and then to define
<tt>X_proxy::operator=</tt>. Note that you may overload
<tt>X_proxy::operator=</tt>, or even define it as a member template; this
allows assignment of more than one type through Output Iterators of
class <tt>X</tt>.
