Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/beast/core/string_param.hpp>

class string_param

Member Functions

Description

This is used as a function parameter type to allow callers notational convenience: objects other than strings may be passed in contexts where a string is expected. The conversion to string is made using operator<< to a non-dynamically allocated static buffer if possible, else to a std::string on overflow. To use it, modify your function signature to accept string_param and then extract the string inside the function:

void print(string_param s)
{
    std::cout << s.str();
}
