> class basic_ios : public ios_base |
The class std::basic_ios provides facilities for interfacing with objects that have std::basic_streambuf interface. Several std::basic_ios objects can refer to one actual std::basic_streambuf object.

Two specializations for common character types are also provided:

|---|---|
ios | basic_ios<char> |
wios | basic_ios<wchar_t> |

Notes
Straightforward implementation of std::basic_ios stores only the following members (which all depend on the template parameters and thus cannot be part of std::ios_base):
- the fill character (see
fill()) - the tied stream pointer (see
tie()) - the associated stream buffer pointer (see
rdbuf())
Actual implementations vary:
Microsoft Visual Studio stores just those three members.
LLVM libc++ stores 1 less member: it maintains the rdbuf pointer as a void* member of ios_base.
GNU libstdc++ stores 4 additional members: three cached facets and a flag to indicate that fill was initialized.
