In this post: set_intersection uses std::inserter as follows:

std::set_intersection(
    netSet.begin(), netSet.end(),
    portSet.begin(), portSet.end(),
    std::inserter(result, result.end())
);

However, std::inserter is no longer available with C++17 so how should this code be rewritten?

EDIT: As many have pointed out, std::inserter is still available in C++17. Somehow I ended up reading how std::iterator had been deprecated not realising that it wasn't referring to std::inserter. My problem was solved by specifically including the <iterator> header in my code.

    Where did you see `std::inserter` will not be available? I don't believe it's removed or even deprecated. – aschepler Aug 14 '17 at 12:17

    Perhaps you are thinking of [`std::iterator`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/iterator/iterator), which was intended to help provide the `typedef`s needed when creating your own iterators, but was concluded not to be very useful and hence deprecated? – BoBTFish Aug 14 '17 at 12:22

That's not true!

There is no indication that std::inserter will be removed from C++17, or that it will become deprecated.

I was getting confused with std::iterator
