Protected Member Functions

pstream_common ()
Default constructor. pstream_common (const std::string &cmd, pmode mode)
Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. pstream_common (const std::string &file, const argv_type &argv, pmode mode)
Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. virtual ~pstream_common ()=0
Pure virtual destructor. void do_open (const std::string &cmd, pmode mode)
Start a process. void do_open (const std::string &file, const argv_type &argv, pmode mode)

The command used to start the process. streambuf_type buf_
The stream buffer.

template<typename CharT, typename Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>

class redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >" Class template for common base class.

Abstract Base Class providing common functionality for basic_ipstream, basic_opstream and basic_pstream. pstream_common manages the basic_pstreambuf stream buffer that is used by the derived classes to initialise an iostream class.

template<typename C , typename T > redi::pstream_common< C, T >::pstream_common () [inline], [protected]

Default constructor. Creates an uninitialised stream.

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_.

template<typename C , typename T > redi::pstream_common< C, T >::pstream_common (const std::string & cmd, pmode mode) [inline], [protected]

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open( command , mode )

Parameters:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, and redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::do_open().

template<typename C , typename T > redi::pstream_common< C, T >::pstream_common (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode) [inline], [protected]

Constructor that initialises the stream by starting a process. Initialises the stream buffer by calling do_open( file , argv , mode )

Parameters:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, and redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::do_open().

template<typename C , typename T > redi::pstream_common< C, T >::~pstream_common () [inline], [protected], [pure virtual]

Pure virtual destructor. This is a pure virtual function to make pstream_common abstract. Because it is the destructor it will be called by derived classes and so must be defined. It is also protected, to discourage use of the PStreams classes through pointers or references to the base class.

See also:

template<typename C , typename T > void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::close () [inline]

Close the pipe. Calls rdbuf->close() and sets failbit on error.

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, and redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, Traits >::close().

template<typename C , typename T > const std::string & redi::pstream_common< C, T >::command () const [inline]

Return the command used to initialise the stream.

Returns:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::command_.

template<typename C , typename T > void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::do_open (const std::string & cmd, pmode mode) [inline], [protected]

Start a process. Calls rdbuf()->open( command , mode ) and sets failbit on error.

Parameters:

See also:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::command_, and redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, Traits >::open().

Referenced by redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::pstream_common().

template<typename C , typename T > void redi::pstream_common< C, T >::do_open (const std::string & file, const argv_type & argv, pmode mode) [inline], [protected]

Start a process. Calls rdbuf()->open( file, argv, mode ) and sets failbit on error.

Parameters:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::command_, and redi::basic_pstreambuf< CharT, Traits >::open().

template<typename C , typename T > bool redi::pstream_common< C, T >::is_open () const [inline]

Report whether the stream's buffer has been initialised.

Returns:

template<typename C , typename T > pstream_common< C, T >::streambuf_type * redi::pstream_common< C, T >::rdbuf () const [inline]

Return a pointer to the stream buffer.

Returns:

References redi::pstream_common< CharT, Traits >::buf_, redi::pstreams::pstderr, redi::pstreams::pstdin, and redi::pstreams::pstdout.
