Re: [Boost-users] [iostreams] stream and ios_base::binary

Is there a way to construct a boost::iostreams::stream with the ios_base::binary flag?

How line endings are treated is completely dependent upon the Device you pass to boost::iostreams::stream. Of the Devices provided by the iostreams library, only the file wrappers (www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.2.2.10) provide line-ending conversions by default. In general, if you want to enable line-ending conversions for a user-defined device, you have to compose it with a newline filter (www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.2.10.1).

I'd be really happier without the line-ending treatment...
