Here’s a non-deprecated method found on the web, has you derive your own std::streambuf
class, but easy and seems to work:
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <streambuf>
#include <string>
struct membuf : std::streambuf
{
membuf(char* begin, char* end) {
this->setg(begin, begin, end);
}
};
int main()
{
char buffer[] = "I'm a buffer with embedded nulls\0and line\n feeds";
membuf sbuf(buffer, buffer + sizeof(buffer));
std::istream in(&sbuf);
std::string line;
while (std::getline(in, line)) {
std::cout << "line: " << line << "\n";
}
return 0;
}
Which outputs:
line: I'm a buffer with embedded nullsand line
line: feeds
