It does now ;-) Apologies for what may have been a stupid question - it's not that I didn't look at the documentation, more that - as I've found with attempting to extend the C++ standard iostream library - it doesn't seem that clear how to achieve a certain task and why things have to be done a certain way. Thanks for the help again :-) --rob On Jan 23, 2008 2:36 PM, Eric MALENFANT wrote:

Hi all,

I've created my own iostreams device (for a serial port) which for debugging purposes prints out calls to read()/write().

I'm constructing a stream on the device like this: serial_device serial("/dev/ttyS3", serial_device::Baud38400); stream s(serial);

If I do this: s << "hello world" << endl; serial.write() is called and does its debug output, but with this: s << "hello world\r" << flush; I get nothing despite using 'flush'.

I've also tried calling s.flush() manually but get the same lack of effect. How come flush isn't working as it should here?

A wild guess: Does serial_device implement the "Flushable" concept? http://www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html?path=4.1.3.2
