void freeze(bool flag = true); |
If the stream is using a dynamically-allocated array for output, disables (flag == true) or enables (flag == false) automatic allocation/deallocation of the buffer. Effectively calls rdbuf()->freeze(flag).
Notes
After a call to str(), dynamic streams become frozen automatically. A call to freeze(false) is required before exiting the scope in which this ostrstream object was created. otherwise the destructor will leak memory. Also, additional output to a frozen stream may be truncated once it reaches the end of the allocated buffer.
Parameters
| flag | - | desired status |
Return value
(none).
Example
#include <strstream>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::ostrstream dyn; // dynamically-allocated output buffer
dyn << "Test: " << 1.23;
std::cout << "The output stream contains \"" << dyn.str() << "\"\n";
// the stream is now frozen due to str()
dyn << " More text"; // output to a frozen stream may be truncated
std::cout << "The output stream contains \"" << dyn.str() << "\"\n\n";
dyn.freeze(false); // freeze(false) must be called or the destructor will leak
std::ostrstream dyn2; // dynamically-allocated output buffer
dyn2 << "Test: " << 1.23;
std::cout << "The output stream contains \"" << dyn2.str() << "\"\n";
dyn2.freeze(false); // unfreeze the stream after str()
dyn2 << " More text"; // output will not be truncated (the underlying buffer may grow)
std::cout << "The output stream contains \"" << dyn2.str() << "\"\n";
dyn2.freeze(false); // freeze(false) must be called or the destructor will leak
}Possible output:
The output stream contains "Test: 1.23" The output stream contains "Test: 1.23 More " The output stream contains "Test: 1.23" The output stream contains "Test: 1.23 More text"
