62 * @brief The actual work of input and output (interface).
64 * This is a base class. Derived stream buffers each control a
65 * pair of character sequences: one for input, and one for output.
67 * Section [27.5.1] of the standard describes the requirements and
68 * behavior of stream buffer classes. That section (three paragraphs)
69 * is reproduced here, for simplicity and accuracy.
71 * -# Stream buffers can impose various constraints on the sequences
72 * they control. Some constraints are:
73 * - The controlled input sequence can be not readable.
74 * - The controlled output sequence can be not writable.
75 * - The controlled sequences can be associated with the contents of
76 * other representations for character sequences, such as external
77 * files.
78 * - The controlled sequences can support operations @e directly to or
79 * from associated sequences.
80 * - The controlled sequences can impose limitations on how the
81 * program can read characters from a sequence, write characters to
82 * a sequence, put characters back into an input sequence, or alter
83 * the stream position.
84 * .
85 * -# Each sequence is characterized by three pointers which, if non-null,
86 * all point into the same @c charT array object. The array object
87 * represents, at any moment, a (sub)sequence of characters from the
88 * sequence. Operations performed on a sequence alter the values
89 * stored in these pointers, perform reads and writes directly to or
90 * from associated sequences, and alter "the stream position" and
91 * conversion state as needed to maintain this subsequence relationship.
92 * The three pointers are:
93 * - the <em>beginning pointer</em>, or lowest element address in the
94 * array (called @e xbeg here);
95 * - the <em>next pointer</em>, or next element address that is a
96 * current candidate for reading or writing (called @e xnext here);
97 * - the <em>end pointer</em>, or first element address beyond the
98 * end of the array (called @e xend here).
99 * .
100 * -# The following semantic constraints shall always apply for any set
101 * of three pointers for a sequence, using the pointer names given
102 * immediately above:
103 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer, then @e xbeg and @e xend shall
104 * also be non-null pointers into the same @c charT array, as
105 * described above; otherwise, @e xbeg and @e xend shall also be null.
106 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xnext < @e xend for an
107 * output sequence, then a <em>write position</em> is available.
108 * In this case, @e *xnext shall be assignable as the next element
109 * to write (to put, or to store a character value, into the sequence).
110 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xbeg < @e xnext for an
111 * input sequence, then a <em>putback position</em> is available.
112 * In this case, @e xnext[-1] shall have a defined value and is the
113 * next (preceding) element to store a character that is put back
114 * into the input sequence.
115 * - If @e xnext is not a null pointer and @e xnext< @e xend for an
116 * input sequence, then a <em>read position</em> is available.
117 * In this case, @e *xnext shall have a defined value and is the
118 * next element to read (to get, or to obtain a character value,
119 * from the sequence).

725 * Informally, this function is called when the output buffer is full
726 * (or does not exist, as buffering need not actually be done). If a
727 * buffer exists, it is "consumed", with "some effect" on the
728 * controlled sequence. (Typically, the buffer is written out to the
729 * sequence verbatim.) In either case, the character @a c is also
730 * written out, if @a c is not @c eof().
732 * For a formal definiton of this function, see a good text
733 * such as Langer & Kreft, or [27.5.2.4.5]/3-7.
735 * A functioning output streambuf can be created by overriding only
736 * this function (no buffer area will be used).
738 * @note Base class version does nothing, returns eof().
