I'd better try it then...

cat x.cc
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <iterator>

using namespace std;

int main() {
   string str("12 3213 asdf 21");
   vector<int> v;

   copy(istream_iterator<int>(istringstream(str)) ,
        istream_iterator<int>(),  back_inserter(v) );
}

g++ x.cc

x.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
x.cc:13:48: error: no matching function for call to 
‘std::istream_iterator<int>::istream_iterator(std::istringstream)’

CC x.cc
"x.cc", line 13: Error: Cannot cast from std::istringstream  to 
std::istream_iterator<int, char, std::char_traits<char>, int>.
