std::strstream
Defined in header
<strstream>
The class strstream implements input and output operations on array-backed streams. It essentially wraps a raw array I/O device implementation (std::strstreambuf ) into the higher-level interface of std::basic_iostream .
The typical implementation of strstream holds only one non-derived data member: an object of type std::strstreambuf .
Contents
[edit] Notes
After any call to str() , a call to freeze(false) is required to allow the destructor to deallocate the buffer as necessary.
Before any call to str() that uses the result as a C-string, the buffer must be null-terminated, typically with std::ends .
strstream has been deprecated since C++98 and removed since C++26. std::stringstream , std::spanstream (since C++23), and boost::iostreams::array are the recommended replacements.
