The class basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Allocator> supports writing objects of class basic_string<​charT, traits, Allocator>.
It uses a basic_stringbuf object to control the associated storage.
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:
  • sb, the stringbuf object.

31.8.4.2 Constructors [ostringstream.cons]

explicit basic_ostringstream(ios_base::openmode which);
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(which | ios_base​::​out) ([stringbuf.cons]).
explicit basic_ostringstream( const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& s, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out);
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which | ios_base​::​out)
([stringbuf.cons]).
basic_ostringstream(ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(which | ios_base​::​out, a)
([stringbuf.cons]).
explicit basic_ostringstream( basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>&& s, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out);
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(std​::​move(s), which | ios_base​::​​out) ([stringbuf.cons]).
template<class SAlloc> basic_ostringstream( const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s, ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which | ios_base​::​out, a)
([stringbuf.cons]).
template<class SAlloc> explicit basic_ostringstream( const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out);
Constraints: is_same_v<SAlloc,Allocator> is false.
Effects: Initializes the base class with basic_ostream<charT, traits>(addressof(sb)) ([ostream]) and sb with basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>(s, which | ios_base​::​out)
([stringbuf.cons]).
template<class T> explicit basic_ostringstream(const T& t, ios_base::openmode which = ios_base::out); template<class T> basic_ostringstream(const T& t, const Allocator& a); template<class T> basic_ostringstream(const T& t, ios_base::openmode which, const Allocator& a);
Let which be ios_base​::​out for the overload with no parameter which, and a be Allocator() for the overload with no parameter a.
Constraints: is_convertible_v<const T&, basic_string_view<charT, traits>> is true.
Effects: Initializes the base class with addressof(sb), and direct-non-list-initializes sb with t, which | ios_base​::​out, a.
basic_ostringstream(basic_ostringstream&& rhs);
Effects: Move constructs from the rvalue rhs.
This is accomplished by move constructing the base class, and the contained basic_stringbuf.
Then calls basic_ostream<charT, traits>​::​set_rdbuf(addressof(sb)) to install the contained basic_stringbuf.

31.8.4.3 Swap [ostringstream.swap]

void swap(basic_ostringstream& rhs);
Effects: Equivalent to: basic_ostream<charT, traits>::swap(rhs); sb.swap(rhs.sb);
template<class charT, class traits, class Allocator> void swap(basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& x, basic_ostringstream<charT, traits, Allocator>& y);
Effects: Equivalent to x.swap(y).

31.8.4.4 Member functions [ostringstream.members]

basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>* rdbuf() const;
Returns: const_cast<basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator>*>(addressof(sb)).
basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator> str() const &;
Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->str();
template<class SAlloc> basic_string<charT,traits,SAlloc> str(const SAlloc& sa) const;
Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->str(sa);
basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator> str() &&;
Effects: Equivalent to: return std​::​move(*rdbuf()).str();
basic_string_view<charT, traits> view() const noexcept;
Effects: Equivalent to: return rdbuf()->view();
void str(const basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>& s);
Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(s);
template<class SAlloc> void str(const basic_string<charT, traits, SAlloc>& s);
Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(s);
void str(basic_string<charT, traits, Allocator>&& s);
Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(std​::​move(s));
template<class T> void str(const T& t);
Constraints: is_convertible_v<const T&, basic_string_view<charT, traits>> is true.
Effects: Equivalent to: rdbuf()->str(t);
