Hello *,<div><br></div><div>I tried to use an array-device based stream and wantet to pass the stream to std::output_iterator or std::istream_iterator, but unfortunately, I get a compilation error with gcc 4.3.5.</div><div>

Boost::IOStreams docu states that the io::stream is either derived from std::basic_istream or std::basic_ostream or both dependent on the underlying device category. array has seekable category, so I&#39;d expect io::stream to derive from both and be compatible with ostream_iterator or istream_iterator.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Here is the code snippet:</div><div><br></div><div>  typedef unsigned char byte;</div><div><div>  typedef io::basic_array&lt;byte&gt;  array_device;</div><div>  typedef io::stream&lt;array_device&gt; array_stream;</div>

<div><br></div></div><div>  array_stream  ios_(ptr_to_byte_array);</div><div><br></div><div>  std::istream_iterator&lt;byte&gt; in(ios_);</div><div><br></div><div>And the last line results in the error stating:</div><div>

<br></div><div><div>src/chunk_reading_iterator_test.cpp: In member function &#39;void chunk_reading_iterator_suite::ctor::test_method()&#39;:</div><div>src/chunk_reading_iterator_test.cpp:86: error: no matching function for call to &#39;std::istream_iterator&lt;unsigned char, char, std::char_traits&lt;char&gt;, int&gt;::istream_iterator(chunk_reading_iterator_suite::&lt;unnamed&gt;::array_stream&amp;)&#39;</div>

</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for any suggestions,</div><div>Ovanes</div>
