This function doesn't compile and if tmp is a std::string object in local scope then also returns a dangling pointer (a pointer to an array owned by tmp which is destroyed as soon as the function ends). If it isn't a local object then it is not thread safe, so either way you lose. This function is just the C++ way of converting an integer value to its string representation. That is irrelevant to the purposes of gio, the main purpose of which is synchronous and asynchronous input/output (with some additional sort-of-io-related things such as a dbus implementation and icon interfaces): the high level socket interface is particularly nice. GDBus is also a big improvement over dbus-glib. If what you are looking for is an integer to string converter then stick with std::stringstream or you can use the formatting functions available in glibmm. If you are looking for a standard iostream interface for gio streams, then there is one at http://cxx-gtk-utils.sourceforge.net/group__gstreams.html . If you scroll down to "gtkmm users" section it will tell you how to use them with giomm, should you want to do so.
