Given
-  base_typeas std::basic_iostream <CharT, Traits>, and
-  buf_typeas std::basic_stringbuf <CharT, Traits, Allocator>,
the std::basic_iostream  base and the exposition-only data member sb are initialized as follows.
| Over load | std::basic_iostream base | sb | 
|---|---|---|
| (1) | base_type(std::addressof (sb))[1] | buf_type(mode) | 
| (2) | buf_type(std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::out ) | |
| (3) | buf_type(str, mode) | |
| (4) | buf_type(std::move(str), mode) | |
| (5) | buf_type(mode, a) | |
| (6) | buf_type(str, mode, a) | |
| (7) | buf_type(str, std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::out, a) | |
| (8) | buf_type(str, mode) | |
| (9) | std::addressof (sb) | {t, mode, Allocator()} | 
| (10) | {t, mode, a} | |
| (11) | {t, std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::out, a} | |
| (12) | move constructed from other's std::basic_iostream base | move constructed from other.sb | 
- ↑ The std::basic_iostream base was intialized with base_type(&sb) (for overloads (1,3)) until C++11.

[edit] Notes
Construction of one-off basic_stringstream objects in a tight loop, such as when used for string conversion, may be significantly more costly than calling str()  to reuse the same object.
| Feature-test macro | Value | Std | Feature | 
|---|---|---|---|
| __cpp_lib_sstream_from_string_view | 202306L | (C++26) | Interfacing std::stringstream s with std::string_view , (9-11) | 
[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <sstream> int main() { // default constructor (input/output stream) std::stringstream buf1; buf1 << 7; int n = 0; buf1 >> n; std::cout << "buf1 = " << buf1.str() << " n = " << n << '\n'; // input stream std::istringstream inbuf("-10"); inbuf >> n; std::cout << "n = " << n << '\n'; // output stream in append mode (C++11) std::ostringstream buf2("test", std::ios_base::ate ); buf2 << '1'; std::cout << buf2.str() << '\n'; }
Output:
buf1 = 7 n = 7 n = -10 test1
