And while you are thinking about this you might investigate the following:
The serialization library uses temp files to test serialization. I would prefer to use string streams to avoid using temp files at all in most cases. However, it seems that string streams on some (or all) platforms don't support things like code_cvt facets
As I've mentioned before, stringstreams *never* perform code conversion. Of the standard streams, *only* file streams use codecvts. If you want something that behaves like a stringstream but performs code conversion, you can use #include <boost/iostreams/code_converter.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/stream.hpp> #include <libs/iostreams/example/container_device.hpp> namespace io = boost::iostreams; namespace ex = boost::iostreams::example; typedef io::code_converter< ex::container_source<std::wstring> > string_source; typedef io::code_converter< ex::container_sink<std::wstring> > string_sink; typedef io::stream<string_source> istringstream; typedef io::stream<string_sink> ostringstream;
and who know what else so I don't feel comfortable using them to test. I guess this is really a research projects re string streams.
