D.13.4 Class ostrstream [depr.ostrstream]

D.13.4.1 General [depr.ostrstream.general]

namespace std { class ostrstream : public basic_ostream<char> { public: ostrstream(); ostrstream(char* s, int n, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out); virtual ~ostrstream(); strstreambuf* rdbuf() const; void freeze(bool freezefl = true); char* str(); int pcount() const; private: strstreambuf sb; // exposition only }; }

The class ostrstream supports the writing of objects of class strstreambuf.

It supplies a strstreambuf object to control the associated array object.

For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:

(1.1)
sb, the strstreambuf object.

D.13.4.2 ostrstream constructors [depr.ostrstream.cons]

🔗

ostrstream();

Effects: Initializes the base class with ostream(&sb) and sb with strstreambuf().

🔗

ostrstream(char* s, int n, ios_base::openmode mode = ios_base::out);

Effects: Initializes the base class with ostream(&sb), and sb with one of two constructors:

(2.1)
If (mode & app) == 0, then s shall designate the first element of an array of n elements.
The constructor is strstreambuf(s, n, s).
(2.2)
If (mode & app) != 0, then s shall designate the first element of an array of n elements that contains an ntbs whose first element is designated by s.

The constructor is strstreambuf(s, n, s + std::strlen(s)).331

331)

The function signature strlen(const char*) is declared in <cstring>.

D.13.4.3 Member functions [depr.ostrstream.members]

🔗

strstreambuf* rdbuf() const;

Returns: (strstreambuf*)&sb.

🔗

void freeze(bool freezefl = true);

Effects: Calls rdbuf()->freeze(freezefl).

🔗

char* str();

Returns: rdbuf()->str().

🔗

int pcount() const;

Returns: rdbuf()->pcount().
