Passing unknown classes to String Streams in C++
- by Sqeaky
I am using a template function and I am passing and I may be sending instances of a variety of classes to a string stream. What can I do to make sure this continues to work?
Let me be more specific where do I define the behavior for this? Is there some member that should be on each class being sent to the string stream, should I in some enhance or extend the existing String stream (I was thinking building a class that inherits from sstream and overloads the << operator to handle all the possible classes)?
I had trouble even finding documentation on this, so even links to more resources would be helpful.
