Re: [Boost-users] [archive] binary archive to memory stream

stringstream is basically std::string with a layer to make it compatible with std::streambuf. It is NOT a C string and the 00 character has no special significance. I also believe that it is exactly what you're looking for. On the other hand, your original explanation leaves me mystified as to what you're actually trying to do. So I could be wrong.
