Hi,<br><br>I&#39;m a newcomer to boost and having trouble determining if what I want to achieve is possible.<br><br>I want some sort of boost::iostreams object wrapping a serial port so that it conforms to the usual interfaces - this would be extremely useful not only for its use, but also to enable injection of a stringstream instance as a mock object when testing.
<br><br>It seems that the likely candidate for this is file_descriptor but I&#39;m not entirely sure.<br>First off, file_descriptor refines SeekableDevice, which a serial port isn&#39;t - does this mean that I can&#39;t do it?
<br><br>After trying to compile I realised that a SeekableDevice provides read, write and seek functions, nothing else.<br>Am I seriously misunderstanding the point of boost::iostreams?<br><br>If I am then can anybody point me in a better direction? My ultimate requirement is a serial port access class that looks just like a C++/boost iostream. I cannot use C++ iostreams directly as I require access to file-descriptor which is not available.
<br><br>Anyone able to help a lost person please?<br>TIA,<br>--rob<br>
