<p>
The <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code> class is derived from <code class="computeroutput">std::streambuf</code>
to associate the streambuf's input and output sequences with one or more
character arrays. These character arrays are internal to the <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code>
object, but direct access to the array elements is provided to permit them
to be used efficiently with I/O operations. Characters written to the output
sequence of a <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code> object are appended to the input
sequence of the same object.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code> class's public interface is intended to
permit the following implementation strategies:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
A single contiguous character array, which is reallocated as necessary
to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence. This is
the implementation approach currently used in Asio.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
A sequence of one or more character arrays, where each array is of the
same size. Additional character array objects are appended to the sequence
to accommodate changes in the size of the character sequence.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
A sequence of one or more character arrays of varying sizes. Additional
character array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes
in the size of the character sequence.
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
The constructor for <a class="link" href="basic_streambuf.html" title="basic_streambuf"><code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code></a>
accepts a <code class="computeroutput">size_t</code> argument specifying the maximum of the sum
of the sizes of the input sequence and output sequence. During the lifetime
of the <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code> object, the following invariant holds:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">size() &lt;= max_size()
</pre>
<p>
Any member function that would, if successful, cause the invariant to be
violated shall throw an exception of class <code class="computeroutput">std::length_error</code>.
</p>
<p>
The constructor for <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code> takes an Allocator argument.
A copy of this argument is used for any memory allocation performed, by the
constructor and by all member functions, during the lifetime of each <code class="computeroutput">basic_streambuf</code>
object.
