Discussion:
D.7.4.1 strstream constructors paragraph 2 says:
Effects: Constructs an object of class strstream, initializing the base class with iostream(& sb) and initializing sb with one of the two constructors:
- If mode&app==0, then s shall designate the first element of an array of n elements. The constructor is strstreambuf(s, n, s).
- If mode&app==0, then s shall designate the first element of an array of n elements that contains an NTBS whose first element is designated by s. The constructor is strstreambuf(s, n, s+std::strlen(s)).
Notice the second condition is the same as the first. I think the second conditionshould be "If mode&app==app", or "mode&app!=0", meaning thatthe append bit is set.
Proposed resolution:
In [depr.ostrstream.cons] paragraph 2 and 99 [depr.strstream.cons]paragraph 2, change the first condition to(mode&app)==0and the second condition to(mode&app)!=0.
