The template class describes an output iterator object. It inserts elements into a container of type Cont, which it accesses via the protected reference object it stores called container. The container must define:

  • The member type value_type, which is the type of an element of the sequence controlled by the container.
  • The member function push_back``(value_type c), which appends a new element with value c to the end of the sequence.
