D.22.3 Class template wbuffer_­convert [depr.conversions.buffer]

1
#
Class template wbuffer_­convert looks like a wide stream buffer, but performs all its I/O through an underlying byte stream buffer that you specify when you construct it.
Like class template wstring_­convert, it lets you specify a code conversion facet to perform the conversions, without affecting any streams or locales.
namespace std { template<class Codecvt, class Elem = wchar_t, class Tr = char_traits<Elem>> class wbuffer_convert : public basic_streambuf<Elem, Tr> { public: using state_type = typename Codecvt::state_type; wbuffer_convert() : wbuffer_convert(nullptr) {} explicit wbuffer_convert(streambuf* bytebuf, Codecvt* pcvt = new Codecvt, state_type state = state_type()); ~wbuffer_convert(); wbuffer_convert(const wbuffer_convert&) = delete; wbuffer_convert& operator=(const wbuffer_convert&) = delete; streambuf* rdbuf() const; streambuf* rdbuf(streambuf* bytebuf); state_type state() const; private: streambuf* bufptr; // exposition only Codecvt* cvtptr; // exposition only state_type cvtstate; // exposition only }; }

#
The class template describes a stream buffer that controls the transmission of elements of type Elem, whose character traits are described by the class Tr, to and from a byte stream buffer of type streambuf.
Conversion between a sequence of Elem values and multibyte sequences is performed by an object of class Codecvt, which shall meet the requirements of the standard code-conversion facet codecvt<Elem, char, mbstate_­t>.

#
An object of this class template stores:
  • (3.1)
    bufptr — a pointer to its underlying byte stream buffer
  • (3.2)
    cvtptr — a pointer to the allocated conversion object (which is freed when the wbuffer_­convert object is destroyed)
  • (3.3)
    cvtstate — a conversion state object

state_type state() const;
4
#
Returns: cvtstate.
🔗
streambuf* rdbuf() const;
5
#
Returns: bufptr.
🔗
streambuf* rdbuf(streambuf* bytebuf);
6
#
Effects: Stores bytebuf in bufptr.
7
#
Returns: The previous value of bufptr.
🔗
using state_type = typename Codecvt::state_type;
8
#
The type shall be a synonym for Codecvt​::​state_­type.
🔗
explicit wbuffer_convert( streambuf* bytebuf, Codecvt* pcvt = new Codecvt, state_type state = state_type());
9
#
Requires: pcvt != nullptr.
10
#
Effects: The constructor constructs a stream buffer object, initializes bufptr to bytebuf, initializes cvtptr to pcvt, and initializes cvtstate to state.
🔗
~wbuffer_convert();
11
#
Effects: The destructor shall delete cvtptr.
