std::ios_base. The internal state is undefined after the construction. The derived class must callstd::basic_ios::init() to complete initialization before first use or before destructor; otherwise the behavior is undefined.The same applies to the constructors of the next class in the I/O hierarchy,std::basic_ios. Further-derived classes (std::istream andstd::ostream) are always constructed with a concrete stream buffer object and callstd::basic_ios::init(), possibly more than once, to complete initialization of their virtual base.
The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.
| DR | Applied to | Behavior as published | Correct behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| LWG 50 | C++98 | the copy constructor was not specified | specified as private |
| LWG 220 | C++98 | the behavior of destroying astd::ios_baseobject before calling itsinit() was not clear | the behavior is undefined in this case |
| LWG 1249 | C++98 | initialization did not need to be completed before first use | also needs to be completed |
