Defined in header <strstream>
class strstreambuf : public std::basic_streambuf<char>		(deprecated in C++98)

std::strstreambuf is a std::basic_streambuf whose associated character sequence is a character array, which may be constant (e.g. a string literal), modifyable but not dynamic (e.g. a stack-allocated array), or dynamic, in which case the std::strstreambuf may be allowed to reallocate the array as necessary to accomodate output (e.g. by calling delete[] and new[] or user-provided functions).

Typical implementation of a std::strstreambuf holds four private data members:

1) buffer state, a bitmask type which can represent any combination of the four values "allocated" (destructor will deallocate), "constant" (output not allowed), "dynamic" (output may reallocate), or "frozen" (deallocation and reallocation are not allowed)

2) allocated buffer size (the beginning of the buffer does not need a special data member, it may be stored in the inherited pointer eback())

3) pointer to user-provided allocation function

4) pointer to user-provided deallocation function.

Notes

After any call to str() on a stream with a dynamic buffer, a call to freeze(false) is required to allow the strstreambuf destructor to deallocate the buffer when necessary.

Member functions

Public member functions
(constructor)	constructs a strstreambuf object (public member function)
(destructor) [virtual]	destructs a strstreambuf object, optionally deallocating the character array (virtual public member function)
freeze	sets/clears the frozen state of the buffer (public member function)
str	marks the buffer frozen and returns the beginning pointer of the input sequence (public member function)
pcount	returns the next pointer minus the beginning pointer in the output sequence: the number of characters written (public member function)
Protected member functions
underflow [virtual]	reads a character from the input sequence without advancing the next pointer (virtual protected member function)
pbackfail [virtual]	backs out the input sequence to unget a character (virtual protected member function)
overflow [virtual]	appends a character to the output sequence, may reallocate or initially allocate the buffer if dynamic and not frozen (virtual protected member function)
setbuf [virtual]	attempts to replace the controlled character sequence with an array (virtual protected member function)
seekoff [virtual]	repositions the next pointer in the input sequence, output sequence, or both, using relative addressing (virtual protected member function)
seekpos [virtual]	repositions the next pointer in the input sequence, output sequence, or both using absolute addressing (virtual protected member function)
