Discussion:
The description of the meaning of the result ofshowmanyc() seems to be rather strange: It uses calls tounderflow(). Usingunderflow() is strange becausethis function only reads the current character but does not extractit,uflow() would extract the current character. This shouldbe fixed to usesbumpc() instead.
Proposed resolution:
Change 31.6.3.5.3[streambuf.virt.get] paragraph 1,showmanyc()returns clause, by replacing the word"supplied" with the words "extracted from thestream".
