    @class wxCountingOutputStream
    @wxheader{stream.h}

    wxCountingOutputStream is a specialized output stream which does not write any
    data anywhere,
    instead it counts how many bytes would get written if this were a normal
    stream. This
    can sometimes be useful or required if some data gets serialized to a stream or
    compressed
    by using stream compression and thus the final size of the stream cannot be
    known other
    than pretending to write the stream. One case where the resulting size would
    have to be
    known is if the data has to be written to a piece of memory and the memory has
    to be
    allocated before writing to it (which is probably always the case when writing
    to a
    memory stream).
