How do I write a copy constructor for my class which has a std::stringstream member?

Question

If I have a class like this, how should I write the copy constructor?

#include <stringstream>

class MyClass {
  std::stringstream strm;
public:
  MyClass(const MyClass& other){
    //...
  }
  std::string toString() const { return strm.str(); }
};

std::stringstream has no copy constructor itself, so I can't use an initialiser list like this:

MyClass(const MyClass& other): strm(other.strm) {}

Answer 1

You can try this:

MyClass(const MyClass& other): strm(other.strm.str()) {}
