Discussion:
27.7.2.2, p1 uses a C-style cast rather than the more appropriate const_cast<> in the Returns clause for basic_istringstream<>::rdbuf(). The same C-style cast is being used in 27.7.3.2, p1, D.7.2.2, p1, and D.7.3.2, p1, and perhaps elsewhere. 27.7.6, p1 and D.7.2.2, p1 are missing the cast altogether.
C-style casts have not been deprecated, so the first part of this issue is stylistic rather than a matter of correctness.
Proposed resolution:
In 27.7.2.2, p1 replace
-1- Returns: (basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*)&sb.
with
-1- Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*>(&sb).
In 27.7.3.2, p1 replace
-1- Returns: (basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*)&sb.
with
-1- Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*>(&sb).
In 27.7.6, p1, replace
-1- Returns: &sb
with
-1- Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT,traits,Allocator>*>(&sb).
In D.7.2.2, p1 replace
-2- Returns: &sb.
with
-2- Returns: const_cast<strstreambuf*>(&sb).
