In that case you would be well catered for by..... class buffered_observer : public observer { std::stringstream write_stream_; protected: std::ostream & out() { return write_stream_; } public: std::istream & write_stream() { return write_stream_; } }; Note: I am assuming that the multiplexor will not reenter the observer on another thread during an on_xxx call Now your example could become class my_observer : public buffered_observer { public: void on_connect() { ... out() << "Hello World" << std::flush; } }; I will take an ostream over writen any day. -- Hamish Mackenzie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
