The class basic_istringstream<charT, traits, Allocator> supports reading objects of class basic_string<​charT, traits, Allocator>.
It uses a basic_stringbuf<charT, traits, Allocator> object to control the associated storage.
For the sake of exposition, the maintained data is presented here as:
  • sb, the stringbuf object.
