But when doing so, it does not compile (see test.cpp). This problem seems to come from an internal class of iostreams, ''concept_adapter'', and one of its methods. As I can understand, that method forces a buffer to a type like ''std::basic_buffer >'', which is incorrect (it should uses the character trait type passed as an argument to boost::iostreams::stream). The provided patch is working, but it just some trick to allow the code to compile. In the worst case that little helper class should be redesigned to add the character trait type to the list of its template parameters." Bugs closed iostreams Boost Development Trunk Problem fixed
