    The std::basic_streambuf base and the exposition-only data members buf and mode are initialized as follows.

    After initializing these subobjects, overloads (3-12) initialize the input and output sequences as if by calling init_buf_ptrs().

     Overload   std::basic_streambuf base  buf mode
    (1) default-initialized implementation-defined
    (see below)     		which
    (2)  std::ios_base::in |
    std::ios_base::out     
    (3) s which
    (4) std::move(s)
    (5) a
    (6)  std::ios_base::in |
    std::ios_base::out
    (7) s which
    (8) {s, a}
    (9)  std::ios_base::in |
    std::ios_base::out
    (10) {sv, Allocator()} which
    (11) {sv, a}
    (12)  std::ios_base::in |
    std::ios_base::out
    (13) rhs
    (copy constructed)     		std::move(rhs).str() rhs.mode
    (14)  {std::move(rhs).str(), a} 
    1,2) Overload (1)(until C++11)(2)(since C++11) is the default constructor. It is implementation-defined whether the sequence pointers (eback(), gptr(), egptr(), pbase(), pptr(), epptr()) are initialized to null pointers.
    5,6) When the construction is complete, str.empty() is true.
    7) This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_same_v<SAlloc, Allocator> is false.
    10-12) Implicitly converts t to a string view sv as if by std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> sv = t;, then it is used as above in the table.
    These overloads participate in overload resolution only if std::is_convertible_v<const StringViewLike&,
    std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits>>     is true.
    13,14) Overload (13) is the move constructor. It is implementation-defined whether the six sequence pointers in *this obtain the values which rhs had.
    When the construction is complete, rhs is empty but usable, and
    • Let rhs_p refer to the state of rhs just prior to this construction, the following expressions will evaluate to true:
    • str() == rhs_p.str()
    • getloc() == rhs_p.getloc()
    • gptr() - eback() == rhs_p.gptr() - rhs_p.eback()
    • egptr() - eback() == rhs_p.egptr() - rhs_p.eback()
    • pptr() - pbase() == rhs_p.pptr() - rhs_p.pbase()
    • epptr() - pbase() == rhs_p.epptr() - rhs_p.pbase()
    • Let rhs_a refer to the state of rhs just after this construction, the following expressions will evaluate to true:
    • !eback() || eback() != rhs_a.eback()
    • !gptr() || gptr() != rhs_a.gptr()
    • !egptr() || egptr() != rhs_a.egptr()
    • !pbase() || pbase() != rhs_a.pbase()
    • !pptr() || pptr() != rhs_a.pptr()
    • !epptr() || epptr() != rhs_a.epptr()
    15) The copy constructor is deleted; std::basic_stringbuf is not CopyConstructible.

    Parameters

    s - a std::basic_string used to initialize the buffer
    t - an object (convertible to std::basic_string_view) used to initialize the buffer
    a - another allocator used to construct the internal std::basic_string
    rhs - another basic_stringbuf
    which - specifies stream open mode. It is bitmask type, the following constants are defined:
    Constant Explanation
    app seek to the end of stream before each write
    binary open in binary mode
    in open for reading
    out open for writing
    trunc discard the contents of the stream when opening
    ate seek to the end of stream immediately after open
    noreplace (C++23) open in exclusive mode

    Notes

    Typically called by the constructor of std::basic_stringstream.

    The level of support for the open modes other than std::ios_base::in and std::ios_base::out varies among implementations. C++11 explicitly specifies the support for std::ios_base::ate in str() and in this constructor, but std::ios_base::app, std::ios_base::trunc, and std::ios_base::binary have different effects on different implementations.

    Example

    Demonstrates calling the constructor of std::basic_stringbuf directly:

    Run this code
    #include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
    // default constructor (mode = in | out)
    std::stringbuf buf1;
    buf1.sputc('1');
    std::cout << &buf1 << '\n';
    
    // string constructor in at-end mode (C++11)
    std::stringbuf buf2("test", std::ios_base::in
                              | std::ios_base::out
                              | std::ios_base::ate);
    buf2.sputc('1');
    std::cout << &buf2 << '\n';
    
    // append mode test (results differ among compilers)
    std::stringbuf buf3("test", std::ios_base::in
                              | std::ios_base::out
                              | std::ios_base::app);
    buf3.sputc('1');
    buf3.pubseekpos(1);
    buf3.sputc('2');
    std::cout << &buf3 << '\n';
}
