It fails because char_array_buffer doesn't meet the requirements of boost::iostreams::stream.

In particular, it is not CopyConstructible. Hi Steven, Thanks. I tried a deceleration of every kind of constructor. It may be

It almost works. I could not find a single example of using a specialized stream_buffer with boost stream. I'll come back to this someday. For now I'm running out of brain cells and I need to deal with my task at hand. Best, Dan.
