61 * @brief The actual work of input and output (interface).
64 * @tparam _CharT Type of character stream.
65 * @tparam _Traits Traits for character type, defaults to
66 * char_traits<_CharT>.
68 * This is a base class. Derived stream buffers each control a
69 * pair of character sequences: one for input, and one for output.
71 * Section [27.5.1] of the standard describes the requirements and
72 * behavior of stream buffer classes. That section (three paragraphs)
73 * is reproduced here, for simplicity and accuracy.
75 * -# Stream buffers can impose various constraints on the sequences
76 * they control. Some constraints are:
77 * - The controlled input sequence can be not readable.
78 * - The controlled output sequence can be not writable.
79 * - The controlled sequences can be associated with the contents of
80 * other representations for character sequences, such as external
82 * - The controlled sequences can support operations @e directly to or
83 * from associated sequences.
84 * - The controlled sequences can impose limitations on how the
85 * program can read characters from a sequence, write characters to
86 * a sequence, put characters back into an input sequence, or alter
87 * the stream position.
89 * -# Each sequence is characterized by three pointers which, if non-null,
90 * all point into the same @c charT array object. The array object
91 * represents, at any moment, a (sub)sequence of characters from the
92 * sequence. Operations performed on a sequence alter the values
93 * stored in these pointers, perform reads and writes directly to or
94 * from associated sequences, and alter <em>the stream position</em> and
95 * conversion state as needed to maintain this subsequence relationship.
96 * The three pointers are:
97 * - the <em>beginning pointer</em>, or lowest element address in the
98 * array (called @e xbeg here);
99 * - the <em>next pointer</em>, or next element address that is a
100 * current candidate for reading or writing (called @e xnext here);
101 * - the <em>end pointer</em>, or first element address beyond the
102 * end of the array (called @e xend here).
104 * -# The following semantic constraints shall always apply for any set
105 * of three pointers for a sequence, using the pointer names given
107 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer, then @e xbeg and @e xend shall
108 * also be non-null pointers into the same @c charT array, as
109 * described above; otherwise, @e xbeg and @e xend shall also be null.
110 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xnext < @e xend for an
111 * output sequence, then a <em>write position</em> is available.
112 * In this case, @e *xnext shall be assignable as the next element
113 * to write (to put, or to store a character value, into the sequence).
114 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xbeg < @e xnext for an
115 * input sequence, then a <em>putback position</em> is available.
116 * In this case, @e xnext[-1] shall have a defined value and is the
117 * next (preceding) element to store a character that is put back
118 * into the input sequence.
119 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xnext< @e xend for an
120 * input sequence, then a <em>read position</em> is available.
121 * In this case, @e *xnext shall have a defined value and is the
122 * next element to read (to get, or to obtain a character value,
123 * from the sequence).
