basic_ostream Class

This template class describes an object that controls insertion of elements and encoded objects into a stream buffer with elements of type Elem, also known as char_type, whose character traits are determined by the class Tr, also known as traits_type.

template <class _Elem, class _Tr = char_traits<Elem> > 
   class basic_ostream 
       : virtual public basic_ios<_Elem, _Tr>

Parameters

  • _Elem
    A char_type.

  • _Tr
    The character traits_type.

Remarks

Most of the member functions that overload operator<< are formatted output functions. They follow the pattern:

   iostate state = goodbit;
   const sentry ok( *this );
   if ( ok )
      {try
         {<convert and insert elements
         accumulate flags in state> }
      catch ( ... )
         {try
           {setstate( badbit ); }
         catch ( ... )
           {}
         if ( ( exceptions( ) & badbit ) != 0 )
           throw; }}
   width( 0 );    // Except for operator<<(Elem)
   setstate( state );
   return ( *this );

Two other member functions are unformatted output functions. They follow the pattern:

   iostate state = goodbit;
   const sentry ok( *this );
   if ( !ok )
      state |= badbit;
   else
      {try
         {<obtain and insert elements
         accumulate flags in state> }
      catch ( ... )
         {try
            {setstate( badbit ); }
         catch ( ... )
            {}
         if ( ( exceptions( ) & badbit ) != 0 )
            throw; }}
   setstate( state );
   return ( *this );

Both groups of functions call setstate(badbit) if they encounter a failure while inserting elements.

An object of class basic_istream<Elem, Tr> stores only a virtual public base object of class basic_ios<Elem, Tr>.
