Consider classes derived from tt(std::istream) or tt(std::ostream). Such a
class could be designed as follows:
verb( class XIstream: public std::istream
{
public:
...
};)
Assuming that the tt(streambuf) to which tt(XIstream) interfaces is not
yet available construction time, tt(XIstream) only offers default
constructors. The class could, however, offer a member tt(void
switchStream(std::streambuf *sb)) to provide tt(XIstream) objects with a
tt(streambuf) to interface to. How to implement tt(switchStream)? We could
simply call tt(rdbuf), passing it the pointer to the new streambuf may work,
but the problem is that there may be an existing streambuf, which may have
buffered some information that we don't want to lose.
Instead of using tt(rdbuf) the protected member tt(void) hi(init)
tt(init(std::streambuf *sb)) should be used for switching to another streambuf
in an existing stream.
The tt(init) member expects a pointer to a streambuf which should be
associated with the tt(istream) or tt(ostream) object. The tt(init) member
properly ends any existing association before switching to the tt(streambuf)
whose address is provided to tt(init).
Assuming that the tt(streambuf) to which tt(switchStream)'s tt(sb) points
persists, then tt(switchStream) could simply be implemented like this:
verb( void switchStream(streambuf *sb)
{
init(sb);
})
No further actions are required. The tt(init) member ends the current
association, and only then switches to using tt(streambuf *sb).
