Questions tagged [streambuf]

std::streambuf is the stream buffer type used by C++ iostreams.

C++ iostreams use a stream buffer to do any buffering of characters, manage the stream position and transport characters to/from an external device such as a file.

Use this tag for questions about std::streambuf, the wide-character equivalent std::wstreambuf, or the class template std::basic_streambuf. The tag might also be relevant.

Implementation-defined synchronization of file streams - Why?

What was the rationale behind making synchronization of input file streams implementation-specific. Doesn't it seem obvious that the stream will fill its buffer (partially or wholly) with content from the external device? It says in Standard C++…
