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.

31.8.5.2 Constructors [stringstream.cons]

🔗

explicit basic_stringstream(ios_base::openmode which);

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(which).

🔗

explicit basic_stringstream(
  const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& s,
  ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out | ios_base::in);

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which).

🔗

basic_stringstream(ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(which, a) ([stringbuf.cons]).

🔗

explicit basic_stringstream(
  basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>&& s,
  ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out | ios_base::in);

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(std::move(s), which) ([stringbuf.cons]).

🔗

template<class SAlloc>
  basic_stringstream(
    const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s,
    ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which, a) ([stringbuf.cons]).

🔗

template<class SAlloc>
  explicit basic_stringstream(
    const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s,
    ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out | ios_base::in);

Constraints: is_same_v<SAlloc,Allocator> is false.

Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_iostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([iostream.cons]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which) ([stringbuf.cons]).

🔗

template<class T>
  explicit basic_stringstream(const T& t, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out | ios_base::in);
template<class T>
  basic_stringstream(const T& t, const Allocator& a);
template<class T>
  basic_stringstream(const T& t, ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);

Let which be ios_base::out | ios_base::in for the overload with no parameter which, and a be Allocator() for the overload with no parameter a.

Constraints: is_convertible_v<const T&, basic_string_view<charT, traits>> is true.

Effects: Initializes the base class with addressof(sb), and direct-non-list-initializes sb with t, which, a.

🔗

basic_stringstream(basic_stringstream&& rhs);

Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs.

This is accomplished by move constructing the base class, and the contained basic_stringbuf.

Then calls basic_istream<charT, traits>::set_rdbuf(addressof(sb)) to install the contained basic_stringbuf.

31.8.5.3 Swap [stringstream.swap]

🔗

void swap(basic_stringstream& rhs);

Effects: Equivalent to: basic_iostream<charT,traits>::swap(rhs); sb.swap(rhs.sb);

🔗

template<class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
  void swap(basic_stringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& x,
            basic_stringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& y);

Effects: Equivalent to x.swap(y).

31.8.5.4 Member functions [stringstream.members]

🔗

basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>* rdbuf() const;

Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>*>(addressof(sb)).

🔗

basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> str() const &;

Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->str();

🔗

template<class SAlloc>
  basic_string<charT,traits,SAlloc> str(const SAlloc& sa) const;

Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->str(sa);

🔗

basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator> str() &&;

Effects: Equivalent to: return std::move(*rdbuf()).str();

🔗

basic_string_view<charT, traits> view() const noexcept;

Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->view();

🔗

void str(const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& s);

Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(s);

🔗

template<class SAlloc>
  void str(const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s);

Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(s);

🔗

void str(basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>&& s);

Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(std::move(s));

🔗

template<class T>
  void str(const T&);

Constraints: is_convertible_v<const T&, basic_string_view<charT, traits>> is true.

Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(t);
