🦋 NAME 🦋

std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc > — controlling output for std::string, that's the whole vibe bestie 💅

This is page std::basic...s, _Alloc >(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and it's part 1 of 7 — more is coming, don't you dare close the tab 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sstream>

She inherits std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >, so everything that stream can do? Yeah. She does it too. Family traits, literally. 👑

Then the manipulator-interface operators, all nested right there in the member list:

  • __ostream_type & operator<< (__ios_type &(*__pf)(__ios_type &)) — interface for manipulators
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (ios_base &(*__pf)(ios_base &)) — interface for manipulators

🌟 Inserters 🌟

Okay so here's the tea 🫖 — all the operator<< functions (aka the formatted output functions) have some common behavior, and it's always the same little ritual:

  • Each one starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. That sentry can have several effects, and it wraps up by setting a status flag. See the sentry documentation for more, bestie, because there's a lot going on there.
  • If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument ✨
  • If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state without causing an ios_base::failure to be thrown. Then the original exception gets rethrown 😭
Not me warning you: the exception behavior is exactly as written — badbit goes on, no ios_base::failure, original exception rethrown. Don't improvise.

The actual inserters:

  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (bool __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (short __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned short __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (int __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned int __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned long long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (double __f) — floating point arithmetic inserters 🍓
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (float __f) — floating point arithmetic inserters
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long double __f) — floating point arithmetic inserters

🧚 Unformatted Output Functions 🧚

And for the unformatted girlies, same story, slightly different ending: all the unformatted output functions have some common behavior too. Each one starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. That has several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag — see the sentry documentation for more.

  • If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument 🌈
  • If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state. And if badbit is on in the stream's exceptions mask, the exception will be rethrown without completing its actions 💀
Yeah, that second bullet is the important one — read it twice.
  • __ostream_type & put (char_type __c) — simple insertion. One character, in she goes 💖
  • __ostream_type & write (const char_type *__s, streamsize __n) — character string insertion, __n chars from __s 📝
  • operator bool () const — the quick-and-easy status check. Yes or no, bestie 👑
  • bool operator! () const — the quick-and-easy status check, but negated

⭐ Static Public Member Functions ⭐

  • static bool sync_with_stdio (bool __sync=true) — interaction with the standard C I/O objects. Default is true, because of course it is 🎀
  • static int xalloc () throw () — access to unique indices. Yes, that's throw () with the empty exception spec, exactly as written, don't @ me 💅

✨ Static Public Attributes ✨

okay bestie, here's the whole shelf of static const goodies you inherit — every single one, no skips 💅

  • static const openmode __noreplace — yeah this one's just sitting here, no description in the source, we move.
  • static const fmtflags adjustfield — a mask of left|right|internal. lowkey perfect for the 2-arg form of setf.
  • static const openmode app — seek to end before each write. like "always append, never forget" energy.
  • static const openmode ate — open, then immediately seek to end. not to be confused with app, she's a different girl 🫶
  • static const iostate badbit — indicates a loss of integrity in an input or output sequence (such as an irrecoverable read error from a file). this is the "it's over" bit 💀

  • static const seekdir beg — request a seek relative to the beginning of the stream.
  • static const openmode binary — perform input and output in binary mode (as opposed to text mode). > bestie, this is probably not what you think it is; see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/fstreams.html#std.io.filestreams.binary.
  • static const fmtflags boolalpha — insert/extract bool in alphabetic rather than numeric format. so true instead of 1, slay.

💖 Detailed Description 💖

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    class std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc >

Controlling output for std::string. yes bestie, she's the one holding the pen 🖊️✨

Template Parameters

  • _CharT — type of character stream.
  • _Traits — traits for character type, defaults to char_traits<_CharT>.
  • _Alloc — allocator type, defaults to allocator<_CharT>.

This class supports writing to objects of type std::basic_string, using the inherited functions from std::basic_ostream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_stringbuf is used, which this page refers to as sb.

    istreambuf_iterator<_CharT, _Traits> > std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits
    >::__num_get_type [inherited]

These are non-standard types. iykyk 🙈

typedef void(* std::ios_base::event_callback) (event __e, ios_base &__b, int
    __i) [inherited]

The type of an event callback function.

Parameters

  • __e — one of the members of the event enum.
  • __b — reference to the ios_base object.
  • __i — the integer provided when the callback was registered.

Event callbacks are user defined functions that get called during several ios_base and basic_ios functions, specifically imbue(), copyfmt(), and ~ios().

typedef _Ios_Fmtflags std::ios_base::fmtflags [inherited]

  • fixed
  • hex
  • internal
  • left
  • oct
  • right
  • scientific
  • showbase
  • showpoint
  • showpos
  • skipws
  • unitbuf
  • uppercase
  • adjustfield
  • basefield
  • floatfield
typedef _Ios_Iostate std::ios_base::iostate [inherited]

This is a bitmask type. _Ios_Iostate is implementation-defined, but it is valid to perform bitwise operations on these values and expect the Right Thing to happen. Defined objects of type iostate are:

  • badbit
  • eofbit
  • failbit
  • goodbit
typedef _Ios_Openmode std::ios_base::openmode [inherited]

  • end, equivalent to SEEK_END in the C standard library.

🧚 Member Enumeration Documentation 🧚

enum std::ios_base::event [inherited]

The set of events that may be passed to an event callback. erase_event is used during ~ios() and copyfmt(). imbue_event is used during imbue(). copyfmt_event is used during copyfmt().

👑 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 👑

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc >::basic_ostringstream
    () [inline]

Default constructor starts with an empty string buffer. Initializes sb using mode|out, and passes &sb to the base class initializer. Does not allocate any buffer.

That's a lie. We initialize the base class with NULL, because the string class does its own memory management. 😭
template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc >::basic_ostringstream
    (ios_base::openmode __mode) [inline],  [explicit]

Starts with an empty string buffer.

Parameters

  • __mode — whether the buffer can read, or write, or both.

ios_base::out is automatically included in mode.

Initializes sb using mode|out, and passes &sb to the base class initializer. Does not allocate any buffer.

That's a lie. We initialize the base class with NULL, because the string class does its own memory management. 💀
template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc >::basic_ostringstream
    (const __string_type & __str, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out)
    [inline],  [explicit]

Starts with an existing string buffer.

Parameters

  • __str — a string to copy as a starting buffer.
  • __mode — whether the buffer can read, or write, or both.

ios_base::out is automatically included in mode.

Initializes sb using str and mode|out, and passes &sb to the base class initializer.

That's a lie. We initialize the base class with NULL, because the string class does its own memory management. bestie they really said it three times, and honestly? iconic.
template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits, typename _Alloc>
    std::basic_ostringstream< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc
    >::~basic_ostringstream () [inline]

The destructor does nothing. The buffer is deallocated by the stringbuf object, not the formatting stream. she's not doing the work, and that's valid 🫶

💜 Member Function Documentation 💜

const locale & std::ios_base::_M_getloc () const [inline],  [inherited]

Locale access.

Returns

A reference to the current locale.

Like getloc above, but returns a reference instead of generating a copy. so efficient, we love her ✨

🩹 bad()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> bool std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::bad () const

[inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Bestie, this is the fast error checking girlie 💅 she just peeks and tells you the tea.

Returns: True if the badbit is set.

Heads up tho — other iostate flags may also be set, so don't assume badbit is the whole story. 👀

Referenced by std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::sentry().

🧼 clear()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> void std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::clear (iostate __state = goodbit)

[inherited]

The [Re]sets the error state function — the glow-up reset button for your stream ✨

Parameters

  • __state — the new state flag(s) to set.

Peep std::ios_base::iostate for the possible bit values. Most users will not need to pass an argument, fr fr.

References std::ios_base::badbit, exceptions(), rdbuf(), and rdstate().

Referenced by std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::exceptions(), std::basic_fstream< char >::open(), std::basic_fstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ifstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ifstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ofstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ofstream< char >::open(), std::__detail::operator>>(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::putback(), rdbuf(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::setstate(), and std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::unget().

📋 copyfmt()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt (const basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits > & __rhs)

[inherited]

Copies fields of __rhs into this. It's giving "copy her whole aesthetic" 🎀

Parameters

  • __rhs — the source values for the copies.

Returns: a reference to this object.

So here's the rundown: all fields of __rhs get copied into this object, except that rdbuf() and rdstate() stay unchanged. All values in the pword and iword arrays get copied too. Before copying, each callback is invoked with erase_event. After copying, each (new) callback is invoked with copyfmt_event. And the final step? Copy exceptions(). Periodt. 💅

References basic_ios(), std::__addressof(), exceptions(), fill(), std::ios_base::flags(), std::ios_base::getloc(), std::ios_base::precision(), tie(), std::tie(), and std::ios_base::width().

🏁 eof()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> bool std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::eof () const

[inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Fast error checking, bestie ⚡

Returns: True if the eofbit is set.

Same disclaimer as before — other iostate flags may also be set. 🌸

🚨 exceptions() (the const one)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> iostate std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::exceptions () const

[inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Throwing exceptions on errors — the dramatic option, honestly iconic.

Returns: the current exceptions mask.

This changes nothing in the stream, no cap. See the one-argument version of exceptions(iostate) for the meaning of the return value.

Referenced by clear(), and copyfmt().

🎭 exceptions() (the setter)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> void std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::exceptions (iostate __except)

[inline], [inherited]

Throwing exceptions on errors, but make it a choice this time.

Parameters

  • __except — the new exceptions mask.

By default, error flags are set silently 🤫. You can set an exceptions mask for each stream; if a bit in the mask becomes set in the error flags, then an exception of type std::ios_base::failure is thrown.

And if the error flag is already set when the exceptions mask is added, the exception is immediately thrown 😭 no waiting, no chill. Try running the following under GCC 3.1 or later:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <exception>

int main()
{
    std::set_terminate (__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);

    std::ifstream f ("/etc/motd");

    std::cerr << "Setting badbit\n";
    f.setstate (std::ios_base::badbit);

    std::cerr << "Setting exception mask\n";
    f.exceptions (std::ios_base::badbit);

🎛️ flags() (setter)

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags (fmtflags __fmtfl)

[inline], [inherited]

Setting new format flags all at once. It's giving "new year, new me" 🌈

Returns: the previous format control flags.

Careful bestie — this function overwrites all the format flags with __fmtfl. No merging, no mercy. 💀

💦 flush()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::flush ()

[inherited]

Synchronizing the stream buffer — aka making sure your output actually left the group chat and showed up somewhere real.

🔢 iword()

long & std::ios_base::iword (int __ix)

[inline], [inherited]

Access to integer array 🍓

Parameters

  • __ix — index into the array.

Returns: a reference to an integer associated with the index.

The iword function provides access to an array of integers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All integers in the array are initialized to 0.

Real talk: the implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference. 🙈

Parameters

  • __c — the character to narrow, bestie
  • __dfault — the character to narrow (aka your fallback, the one who shows up when nobody else can) 💅

Returns

The narrowed character. Periodt. ✨

It maps a character of char_type to a character of char, if possible — like, only if it's giving what it needs to give. It returns the result of:

std::use_facet<ctype<char_type> >(getloc()).narrow(c,dfault)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator<< (__streambuf_type * __sb) [inherited]

Extracting from another streambuf 😭 this one's a whole saga, so sit down.

Parameters

  • __sb — a pointer to a streambuf

This function behaves like one of the basic arithmetic extractors, in that it also constructs a sentry object and has the same error handling behavior. (Yes, "extractors" — that's what it says, no cap.)

If __sb is NULL, the stream will set failbit in its error state 💀.

Characters are extracted from __sb and inserted into *this until one of the following occurs:

  • the input stream reaches end-of-file,
  • insertion into the output sequence fails (in this case, the character that would have been inserted is not extracted), or
  • an exception occurs while getting a character from __sb, which sets failbit in the error state

If the function inserts no characters, failbit is set.

okay bestie, we're mid-marathon through the member functions 💪 no breaks, hydration check, let's GO 🧚

rdbuf (the setter, continued) 🔀

Due to historical accidents which the LWG refuses to correct, the I/O library suffers from a design error: this function is hidden in derived classes by overrides of the zero-argument rdbuf(), which is non-virtual for hysterical raisins. As a result, you must use explicit qualifications to access this function via any derived class. For example:

std::fstream     foo;         // or some other derived type
std::streambuf*  p = .....;

foo.ios::rdbuf(p);            // ios == basic_ios<char>

streamsize std::ios_base::width () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited] 📏

Flags access.

Returns

  • The minimum field width to generate on output operations.

Minimum field width refers to the number of characters.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::operator>>(), and std::operator>>().

streamsize std::ios_base::width (streamsize __wide) [inline], [inherited] 📏

Changing flags.

Parameters

  • __wide — The new width value.

Returns

  • The previous value of width().

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::write (const char_type * __s, streamsize __n) [inherited] ✍️

Character string insertion.

Parameters

  • __s — The array to insert.
  • __n — Maximum number of characters to insert.

Returns

  • *this

Characters are copied from __s and inserted into the stream until one of the following happens:

  • __n characters are inserted
  • inserting into the output sequence fails (in this case, badbit will be set in the stream's error state)
Note: This function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char. like, it just doesn't do that. no cap. 🙈

int std::ios_base::xalloc () [static], [inherited] 🎟️

Access to unique indices.

Returns

  • An integer different from all previous calls.

every single call gets a fresh number, no repeats, no reruns — she's booked and busy 🔥

okay that's the chunk bestie, deep breaths, we're not done yet — more coming, don't touch that scroll wheel 🦋

This function returns a unique integer every single time you call it ✨ like it literally never repeats itself, iconic behavior. You can use it for anything honestly, but its main character purpose is being a unique index for the iword and pword functions. The whole vibe is: your app calls xalloc to grab an index into the iword/pword arrays so you can use it without fear of conflict 🫶 no stepping on anybody's toes, periodt.

The implementation keeps a static variable that gets incremented and returned on every invocation. And bestie, xalloc is guaranteed to hand you an index that's safe to use in the iword and pword arrays 💅 trust.
