An example of their use is in the Received Wisdom + section for Chapter 21 (Strings), + <a class="ulink" href="../21_strings/howto.html#1.1internal" target="_top"> describing how to + format strings</a>. + </p><p>The quick definition is: they are siblings of ifstream and ofstream, + and they do for <code class="code">std::string</code> what their siblings do for + files. All that work you put into writing <code class="code"><<</code> and + <code class="code">>></code> functions for your classes now pays off + <span class="emphasis"><em>again!</em></span> Need to format a string before passing the string + to a function? Send your stuff via <code class="code"><<</code> to an + ostringstream. You've read a string as input and need to parse it? + Initialize an istringstream with that string, and then pull pieces + out of it with <code class="code">>></code>. Have a stringstream and need to + get a copy of the string inside? Just call the <code class="code">str()</code> + member function. + </p><p>This only works if you've written your + <code class="code"><<</code>/<code class="code">>></code> functions correctly, though, + and correctly means that they take istreams and ostreams as + parameters, not i<span class="emphasis"><em>f</em></span>streams and o<span class="emphasis"><em>f</em></span>streams. If they + take the latter, then your I/O operators will work fine with + file streams, but with nothing else -- including stringstreams. + </p><p>If you are a user of the strstream classes, you need to update + your code. You don't have to explicitly append <code class="code">ends</code> to + terminate the C-style character array, you don't have to mess with + "freezing" functions, and you don't have to manage the + memory yourself. The strstreams have been officially deprecated, + which means that 1) future revisions of the C++ Standard won't + support them, and 2) if you use them, people will laugh at you. + </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="bk01pt11ch25s02.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="io.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="fstreams.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Buffering </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../spine.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 27.
