Good afternoon,
I'd like to address a security hole in my application. Through a
number of techniques it's possible to obtain a RAM dump of a running
application. I'm using stringstream's to do type conversions. To
minimize the amount of information left lying around in RAM I'd like
to clear the streambuf used by these routines before it's delete'd.
Is anyone willing to provide a little help? (I'd like to do a version
for MSVC and GCC)
My research has so far left me very unhappy and frustrated. I have
what should be a simple
requirement and it's been extremely difficult to implement. The 'big
brains' claim streams
code is one of the finest examples of c++. The claim for c++ and
object orientation are that
inheritance allows us to change behaviours of base cl*****. Except
with c++ you can't use
inheritance with streams (or STL). Seems like somebody missed some
fundamentals
along the way.
