basic_streambuf question

sri
Dear All,

I would like to implement file buffer class to make avialable
buffering mechanism to ifstream or own customized file stream.
My question is what are the semantics for seekoff, overflow, and
underflow.
When I see MS VC++6.0 STL code's basic_filebuf implementation, I
observed that it is not maintaining any buffering mechanism, instead
it is directly handling with the files. Please correct me if I am
understanding in a wrong way.

Sincerely,
Sri

That's correct. The code for overflow/underflow/uflow effectively
emulates the getc/putc macros in <stdio.h>, reaching directly into
the FILE buffers. Thus, there's a single buffering mechanism that's
shared between C and C++ I/O. (No need to disable sync_with_stdio
to get good throughput.)

Simplified for buffered streambufs
the protected virtual functions seekoff,underfl ow, overflow [and uflow]
perform the actual IO from device to buffer.

seekoff() does a relative seek similiar to fseek(),
underflow reloads buffer and returns the current char.
overflow empties the buffer and places the argument in the emptied
buffer.

I was hoping that someone (after my own failures) might post a very mininal unbuffered derivation of basic_streambuf. My problem is that (even leaving the buffer pointers to their defaults) uflow() never gets called unless I define an underflow(). overflow() works as expected but I'm just trying to start small and I can't even get that done. :( I have also tried setting the buffer pointers using the _Init() method, setp( 0, 0 ), setg( 0,...
