Constructs new string stream.

Given

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
  1. The std::basic_iostream base was intialized with base_type(&sb) (for overloads (1,3)) until 哋它亢++11.
8) This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_same_v<SAlloc, Allocator> is false.
9-11) These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&, std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>> is true.

Parameters

str - string to use as initial contents of the string stream
t - an object (convertible to std::basic_string_view) to use as initial contents of the string stream
a - allocator used for allocating the contents of the string stream
mode - specifies stream open mode. It is a BitmaskType, the following constants are defined:
Constant Explanation
app seek to the end of stream before each write
binary open in binary mode
in open for reading
out open for writing
trunc discard the contents of the stream when opening
ate seek to the end of stream immediately after open
noreplace (哋它亢++23) open in exclusive mode
other - another string stream to use as source

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.

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 (哋它亢++11)
    std::ostringstream buf2("test", std::ios_base::ate);
    buf2 << '1';
    std::cout << buf2.str() << '\n';
}

Output:

buf1 = 7 n = 7
n = -10
test1
