It's been a long time (since I used C++ in anger), so forgive my
rustiness, please.
I'm comfortable enough with the new TexStream.h header file. (I even
seem to remember that one must use typedef for templates, rather than
forward declaring a TexStreamBase class ;-))
However, the TexStream c-tor definition in the .cpp file looks weird:
TexStream::TexStream(TexStreamBase * sbuf, TexRow * texrow)
: std::basic_ostream<char_type>(sbuf_ = new TexStreamBuffer(sbuf,
texrow))
{}
I see *what* you're doing. You're initializing the base class, passing
its c-tor a std::basic_streambuf<char_type> pointer which you're also
using to initialize the sbuf_ member variable.
Is that safe? And, even if it is, why would you do that rather than
initialize sbuf_ separately using the rdbuf member of the
now-constructed base?
Incidentally, am I correct to say that this class isn't being used in
anger yet?

this list ;-))
