27.5.5 Class template basic_ios [ios]

27.5.5.2 basic_ios constructors [basic.ios.cons]

explicit basic_ios(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);

Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_ios, assigning initial values to its member objects by calling init(sb).

basic_ios();

Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_ios ([ios.base.cons]) leaving its member objects uninitialized. The object shall be initialized by calling basic_ios::init before its first use or before it is destroyed, whichever comes first; otherwise the behavior is undefined.

~basic_ios();

Remarks: The destructor does not destroy rdbuf().

void init(basic_streambuf<charT,traits>* sb);

Postconditions: The postconditions of this function are indicated in Table [tab:iostreams.basicios.init.effects].
