int_type underflow() override;

Returns: If the input sequence has a read position available, returns traits::to_int_type(*gptr()).

Otherwise, returns traits::eof().

Any character in the underlying buffer which has been initialized is considered to be part of the input sequence.

🔗

int_type pbackfail(int_type c = traits::eof()) override;

Effects: Puts back the character designated by c to the input sequence, if possible, in one of three ways:

(2.1)
If traits::eq_int_type(c, traits::eof()) returns false and if the input sequence has a putback position available, and if traits::eq(to_char_type(c), gptr()[-1]) returns true, assigns gptr() - 1 to gptr().
Returns: c.
(2.2)
If traits::eq_int_type(c, traits::eof()) returns false and if the input sequence has a putback position available, and if mode & ios_base::out is nonzero, assigns c to *--gptr().
Returns: c.
(2.3)
If traits::eq_int_type(c, traits::eof()) returns true and if the input sequence has a putback position available, assigns gptr() - 1 to gptr().
Returns: traits::not_eof(c).

Returns: As specified above, or traits::eof() to indicate failure.

Remarks: If the function can succeed in more than one of these ways, it is unspecified which way is chosen.

🔗

int_type overflow(int_type c = traits::eof()) override;

Effects: Appends the character designated by c to the output sequence, if possible, in one of two ways:

(5.1)
If traits::eq_int_type(c, traits::eof()) returns false and if either the output sequence has a write position available or the function makes a write position available (as described below), the function calls sputc(c).
Signals success by returning c.
(5.2)
If traits::eq_int_type(c, traits::eof()) returns true, there is no character to append.
Signals success by returning a value other than traits::eof().

Returns: As specified above, or traits::eof() to indicate failure.

Remarks: The function can alter the number of write positions available as a result of any call.

The function can make a write position available only if ios_base::out is set in mode.

To make a write position available, the function reallocates (or initially allocates) an array object with a sufficient number of elements to hold the current array object (if any), plus at least one additional write position.

If ios_base::in is set in mode, the function alters the read end pointer egptr() to point just past the new write position.

🔗

pos_type seekoff(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir way,
                 ios_base::openmode which
                   = ios_base::in | ios_base::out) override;

Effects: Alters the stream position within one of the controlled sequences, if possible, as indicated in Table 142 .

Table 142 — seekoff positioning [tab:stringbuf.seekoff.pos]

🔗 Conditions	Result
🔗 ios_base::in is set in which	positions the input sequence
🔗 ios_base::out is set in which	positions the output sequence
🔗 both ios_base::in and ios_base::out are set in which and either way == ios_base::beg or way == ios_base::end	positions both the input and the output sequences
🔗 Otherwise	the positioning operation fails.

For a sequence to be positioned, the function determines newoff as indicated in Table 143 .

If the sequence's next pointer (either gptr() or pptr()) is a null pointer and newoff is nonzero, the positioning operation fails.

Table 143 — newoff values [tab:stringbuf.seekoff.newoff]

🔗 Condition	newoff Value
🔗 way == ios_base::beg	0
🔗 way == ios_base::cur	the next pointer minus the beginning pointer (xnext - xbeg).
🔗 way == ios_base::end	the high mark pointer minus the beginning pointer (high_mark - xbeg).

If (newoff + off) < 0, or if newoff + off refers to an uninitialized character ([stringbuf.members]), the positioning operation fails.

Otherwise, the function assigns xbeg + newoff + off to the next pointer xnext.

Returns: pos_type(newoff), constructed from the resultant offset newoff (of type off_type), that stores the resultant stream position, if possible.

If the positioning operation fails, or if the constructed object cannot represent the resultant stream position, the return value is pos_type(off_type(-1)).

🔗

pos_type seekpos(pos_type sp,
                 ios_base::openmode which
                   = ios_base::in | ios_base::out) override;

Effects: Equivalent to seekoff(off_type(sp), ios_base::beg, which).

Returns: sp to indicate success, or pos_type(off_type(-1)) to indicate failure.

🔗

basic_streambuf<charT, traits>* setbuf(charT* s, streamsize n) override;

Effects: implementation-defined, except that setbuf(0, 0) has no effect.

Returns: this.
