std::strstream::str

From cppreference.com


char* str();

Returns the pointer to the beginning of the buffer, after freezing it. Effectively calls rdbuf()->str()

After a call to str(), dynamic streams become frozen. A call to freeze(false) is required before exiting the scope in which this strstream object was created. otherwise the destructor will leak memory. Also, additional output to a frozen stream may be truncated once it reaches the end of the allocated buffer.

[edit] Parameters

(none)

[edit] Return value

Pointer to the beginning of the buffer in the associated std::strsteambuf or NULL if no buffer is available.

[edit] Example

run this code

#include <strstream>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::strstream dyn; // dynamically-allocated output buffer
    dyn << "Test: " << 1.23;
    std::cout << "The output stream holds \"" << dyn.str() << "\"\n";
 
    dyn << "Test: " << 1.23;
    std::cout << "The output stream holds \"" << dyn.str() << "\"\n";
    // the stream is now frozen due to str()
    dyn << " More text";
    std::cout << "The output stream holds \"" << dyn.str() << "\"\n";
    dyn.freeze(false);
}

Possible output:

The stream holds "Test: 1.23"
The stream holds "Test: 1.23 More "
