vitek edited comment on STDCXX-645 at 11/28/07 12:04 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- 24.5.1 p1 says that an istream_iterator becomes an end-of-stream iterator when the end of stream is reached. So checks are required so that two iterators that become end-of-stream iterators will compare equal. #include <assert.h> #include <iterator> #include <sstream> int main () { std::istringstream a ("1"); std::istream_iterator<int> i (a); ++i; std::istringstream b ("2"); std::istream_iterator<int> j (b); ++j; assert (i == j); return 0; } This method needs to return true if both iterators are end-of-stream iterators, or they have the same non-null stream pointer. Something like this is more appropriate given the implementation of the other methods template <class _TypeT, class _CharT, class _Traits, class _Distance> bool operator== (const istream_iterator<_TypeT, _CharT, _Traits, _Distance>& __x, const istream_iterator<_TypeT, _CharT, _Traits, _Distance>& __y) { const bool __x_eos = !__x._C_strm || !*__x._C_strm; const bool __y_eos = !__y._C_strm || !*__y._C_strm; return (__x._C_strm == __y._C_strm) ? true : __x_eos == __y_eos; } The other option would be to change our internal definition of end-of-stream to be istream_iterators with a NULL stream pointer. Then operator++ could be changed to invalidate the stream pointer when the stream reaches eos. I think this would work. istream_iterator& operator++ () { if (_C_strm && !!*_C_strm) *_C_strm >> _C_val; else _C_strm = 0; return *this; } was (Author: vitek): 24.5.1 p1 says that an istream_iterator becomes an end-of-stream iterator when the end of stream is reached.
