C++ streams question (explanation of comment in code)
- by skyeagle
I am playing around with the fastCGI application found here.
The following comment is in the code:
if (content) delete []content;
// If the output streambufs had non-zero bufsizes and
// were constructed outside of the accept loop (i.e.
// their destructor won't be called here), they would
// have to be flushed here.
My knowledge of C++ streams is rather weak. Could someone please explain the following:
which streambufs are being referred to in the comment?
under what conditions would the streambufs had non-zero bufsizes?
last but not the least, can someone point to a resource (pun intended) online that provides a clear but gentle introduction to C++ IO streams?
