std::ostrstream::rdbuf(3)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this page is literally about std::ostrstream::rdbuf — yes bestie, the std::ostrstream::rdbuf function itself, from the C++ Standard Libary manual. iconic behavior only. ✨

✨ Synopsis ✨

here's the signature, and the lore is loud: it's deprecated in C++98 and removed in C++26. not me mourning legacy C++ 😭💀

strstreambuf* rdbuf() const;  (deprecated in C++98)
                              (removed in C++26)

Returns a pointer to the associated std::strstreambuf, casting away its constness (despite the const qualifier on the member function). periodt. 💅

🎀 Parameters 🎀

(none) — literally nothing to pass, bestie. no arguments, no stress. 🫶

🌸 Return value 🌸

Pointer to the associated std::strstreambuf, with constness cast away. that's the whole tea. ✨

🦋 Example 🦋

okay so here's the demo, copied exactly because we do not mess with code:

// Run this code

#include <strstream>

int main()
{
    const std::ostrstream buf;
    std::strstreambuf* ptr = buf.rdbuf();
}
