Discussion:
25.6.2.2 [istream.iterator.cons] describes the effects in terms of:
basic_istream<charT,traits>* in_stream; // exposition only3 Effects: Initializes in_stream with s.
That should be &s and similarly for 25.6.3.2 [ostream.iterator.cons.des].
[ 2009-12-23 Moved to Tentatively Ready after 6 positive votes on c++std-lib. ]
Proposed resolution:
Change 25.6.2.2 [istream.iterator.cons] like so:
istream_iterator(istream_type& s);3 Effects: Initializes in_stream with &s. value ...
And 25.6.3.2 [ostream.iterator.cons.des] like so:
ostream_iterator(ostream_type& s);1 Effects: Initializes out_stream with &s and delim with null.
ostream_iterator(ostream_type& s, const charT* delimiter);2 Effects: Initializes out_stream with &s and delim with delimiter.
