Discussion:
There's nothing in 27.4.4 saying what basic_ios's destructor does. The important question is whether basic_ios::~basic_ios() destroys rdbuf().
Proposed resolution:
Add after 31.5.4.2 [basic.ios.cons] paragraph 2:
virtual ~basic_ios();Notes: The destructor does not destroy
rdbuf().
Rationale:
The LWG reviewed the additional question of whether or not
rdbuf(0) may set badbit. The answer is
clearly yes; it may be set via clear(). See 31.5.4.3 [basic.ios.members], paragraph 6. This issue was reviewed at length
by the LWG, which removed from the original proposed resolution a
footnote which incorrectly said "rdbuf(0) does not set
badbit".
