Wow - just great. Now just construct an instance of base64_text - and we're in business. So I can do:
char * address; // pointer to character buffer ... boost::archive::iterators::ostream_iterator<char> oi(os); std::copy( base64_text(address), base64_text( address + count ), oi );
So the advantage is the ability to construct a base64_text iterator directly from a char const* without manually constructing each of the underlying iterator adaptor layers. That's neat, but wouldn't a function base64_text make_base64_text_iterator( char const* ); work just as well? D.
