Typedef Documentation

typedef TextStream<EConsole> ecl::EConsoleStream

Streams to standard error.

Streams to standard error.

Usage:

There is no need to open this device, it automatically connects to stderr.

 EConsoleStream estream;
 estream << "Boom";
 estream.flush();

Definition at line 85 of file console_streams.hpp.

typedef TextStream<IConsole> ecl::IConsoleStream

Streams to standard input.

Streams to standard input.

Usage:

There is no need to open this device, it automatically connects to stdin.

 IConsoleStream istream;
 string str;
 istream << str;

Definition at line 69 of file console_streams.hpp.

typedef TextStream<OConsole> ecl::OConsoleStream

Streams to standard output.

This class operates similar to, but posesses several advantages to the usual cout c++ mechanism.

• Faster.
• Can be instantiated separately, each with its own internal buffer.

The ecl could provide a global mechanism very much like the cout handle, but instantiating separately stops getting standard output messages confused and is a useful property for multi-threaded control applications. If you wish to use a global mechanism, simply instantiate a global instance in your program.

Usage:

There is no need to open this device, it automatically connects to stdout.

 OConsoleStream ostream;
 ostream << "Hey dude";
 ostream.flush();
