The class template istream_iterator is an input iterator ([[input.iterators]](input.iterators "24.3.5.3 Input iterators")) that reads successive elements
from the input stream for which it was constructed[.](#general-1.sentence-1)

*Remarks*: If the initializer T() in the declaration auto x = T(); is a constant initializer ([[expr.const]](expr.const "7.7 Constant expressions")),
then these constructors are constexpr constructors[.](#cons-3.sentence-1)

*Effects*: Initializes in_stream with addressof(s),
value-initializes value,
and then calls operator++()[.](#cons-4.sentence-1)

initializes value with x.value[.](#cons-5.sentence-1)

*Remarks*: An invocation of this constructor may be used in a core constant expression
if and only if the initialization of value from x.value is a constant subexpression ([[defns.const.subexpr]](defns.const.subexpr "3.15 constant subexpression"))[.](#cons-6.sentence-1)

*Remarks*: If is_trivially_destructible_v<T> is true,
then this destructor is trivial[.](#cons-7.sentence-1)
