How to pipe into std::cout with boost::iostreams
boost, boost-iostreams, c++, iostream
Solution
Wrapping `std::cout` with boost::ref worked for me:
io::filtering_ostream out(DummyOutputFilter() | boost::ref(std::cout));
See note_1 in pipable docs for details.
Problem
I am new to `boost::iostreams` so this might be trivial: Assuming `namespace io = boost::iostreams;` this works ``` io::filtering_ostream out(std::cout); out << "some\nstring\n"; ``` and this works ``` std::string result; io::filtering_ostream out(io::counter() | io::back_inserter(result)); out << "some\nstring\n"; ``` yet this does not compile ``` io::filtering_ostream out(io::counter() | std::cout); out << "some\nstring\n"; ``` How do you pipe into `std::cout`?
