ostrstream::str

  • Article

char* str();

Return Value

Returns a pointer to the internal character array. If the stream was built with the void-argument constructor, str freezes the array. You must not send characters to a frozen stream, and you are responsible for deleting the array. You can, however, subsequently unfreeze the array by calling rdbuf->freeze( 0 ).

If the stream was built with the constructor that specified the buffer, the pointer contains the same address as the array used to construct the ostrstream object.
