How to pipe into std::cout with boost::iostreams

Question

I am new to boost::iostreams so this might be trivial:

Assuming namespace io = boost::iostreams;

this works

io::fil         


        

Answer 1

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.
