Description

This function wraps the caller provided DynamicBuffer into a std::ostream derived class, to allow operator<< stream style formatting operations.

Example
ostream(buffer) << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
Remarks

Calling members of the underlying buffer before the output stream is destroyed results in undefined behavior.
