Discussion:
-1- Effects Constructs an object of class basic_iostream, assigning initial values to the base classes by calling basic_istream<charT,traits>(sb) (lib.istream) and basic_ostream<charT,traits>(sb) (lib.ostream)
The called for basic_istream and basic_ostream constructors call init(sb). This means that the basic_iostream's virtual base class is initialized twice.
Proposed resolution:
Change 27.6.1.5.1, paragraph 1 to:
-1- Effects Constructs an object of class basic_iostream, assigning initial values to the base classes by calling basic_istream<charT,traits>(sb) (lib.istream).
Rationale:
The LWG agreed that the init() function is called
twice, but said that this is harmless and so not a defect in the
standard.
