public member function
<sstream>

std::basic_ostringstream::rdbuf

basic_stringbuf<char_type,traits_type,allocator_type>* rdbuf() const;
Get stream buffer
Returns a pointer to the internal basic_stringbuf object.

Notice however, that this is not necessarily the same as the currently associated stream buffer (returned by basic_ios::rdbuf).

Parameters

none

Return Value

A pointer to the internal basic_stringbuf object.
char_type, traits_type and allocator_type are member types defined as aliases of the class template parameters (see basic_ostringstream types).

Sample string

Data races

Accesses the stream object.
Concurrent access to the same stream object may cause data races.

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the stream buffer.
