#
The class template basic_­stringstream<charT, traits> supports reading and writing from objects of class basic_­string<charT, traits, Allocator>.
It uses a basic_­stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator> object to control the associated sequence.
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as
  • (1.1)
    sb, the stringbuf object.
