Johnathan,
What are you trying to do? <
I believe that we have already discussed this. But since you ask:
<snip>
The implementation avoids excessive copying by bypassing, under carefully defined circumstances, internal buffering and performing the read operation in-place.
This is not an appropriate customization point for indirect_streambuf. The correct way to customize the buffering policy would be through a template parameter. Even better, if you can show that your implementation is superior to the current one, I can simply use yours instead. I'll have to review the old messages to remember what the sticking points were. I seem to remember there was a problem with STLPort requiring a larger putback buffer than other libraries.
Also, component_impl() is virtual, so you should be able to override it even though its private. <
I'm not sure how this helps;
It means that you can currently do whatever you would be able to do if I made it protected.
component_impl() returns a void*. What am I supposed to do, cast it? :-(
Of course ;-) What else can you do with a void*?
Regards,
George.
