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).
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.
Remarks: The destructor does not destroy rdbuf().
void init(basic_streambuf<charT, traits>* sb);
