Shrug. There's a lot more copying involved in this:
vector<string> data;
string result;
for (int i=0; i<data.size(); ++i) {
if (i!=0)
result += ':';
result += data[i];
}
when compared to this:
vector<string> data;
ostringstream ss;
for (int i=0; i<data.size(); ++i) {
if (i!=0)
ss << ':';
ss << data[i];
}
string const result = ss.str();
But the net result is the same. The use case above is exactly the sort of
thing that stringstreams were designed for, no?
