std::front_insert_iterator is an OutputIterator that prepends elements to a container for which it was constructed. The container's push_front() member function is called whenever the iterator (whether dereferenced or not) is assigned to. Incrementing the std::front_insert_iterator is a no-op.

[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <vector> #include <deque> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> int main() { std::vector<int> v{1,2,3,4,5}; std::deque<int> d; std::copy(v.begin(), v.end(), std::front_insert_iterator<std::deque<int>>(d)); // or std::front_inserter(d) for(int n : d) std::cout << n << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }
Output:
5 4 3 2 1
