The class basic_istringstream<charT, traits, Allocator> supports reading objects of class basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>. It uses a basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator> object to control the associated storage. For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:

  • (1.1)

    sb, the stringbuf object.

27.8.3.1 basic_istringstream constructors [istringstream.cons]

explicit basic_istringstream(ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in);

1

Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_istringstream<charT, traits>, initializing the base class with basic_istream(&sb) and initializing sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(which | ios_base::in)) ([stringbuf.cons]).

explicit basic_istringstream( const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& str, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::in);

2

Effects: Constructs an object of class basic_istringstream<charT, traits>, initializing the base class with basic_istream(&sb) and initializing sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(str, which | ios_base::in)) ([stringbuf.cons]).

basic_istringstream(basic_istringstream&& rhs);

3

Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs. This is accomplished by move constructing the base class, and the contained basic_stringbuf. Next basic_istream<charT, traits>::set_rdbuf(&sb) is called to install the contained basic_stringbuf.

27.8.3.2 Assign and swap [istringstream.assign]

basic_istringstream& operator=(basic_istringstream&& rhs);

1

Effects: Move assigns the base and members of *this from the base and corresponding members of rhs.

2

Returns: *this.

void swap(basic_istringstream& rhs);

3

Effects: Exchanges the state of *this and rhs by calling basic_istream<charT, traits>::swap(rhs) and sb.swap(rhs.sb).

template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator> void swap(basic_istringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& x, basic_istringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& y);

4

Effects: As if by x.swap(y).

27.8.3.3 Member functions [istringstream.members]

basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>* rdbuf() const;

1

Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>*>(&sb).

basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> str() const;

2

Returns: rdbuf()->str().

void str(const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& s);

3

Effects: Calls rdbuf()->str(s).
