+This stream buffer has the advantage to be stream independent and to
work only on memory buffers but it is still compatible with the rest of the
wxStream classes. You can write, read to this special stream and it will

-The "read\_write" mode may not work: it isn't completely finished.
-You can create "memory" streams by this way:
-

- wxStreamBuffer *sb = new wxStreamBuffer(wxStreamBuffer::read)
- wxInputStream *input = new wxInputStream(sb);
-
- sb->Fixed(FALSE); // It can change the size of the buffer.

\func{}{wxStreamBuffer}{\param{const wxStreamBuffer\&}{buffer}}
Constructor. It initializes the stream buffer with the data of the specified
-stream buffer. The new stream buffer is nearly exactly the same as the
-original: it has the same attributes, the same size, the same position, shares
-the same internal buffer. The interresting point is that they can differ
-in the future but the root is the same.

-\wxheading{Warning}
-
-The fact that the two stream buffers shared the same buffer could generate
-segmentation violation if the parent is destroyed and the children continues
-operating. It is advised to use this feature only in very local area of the
+stream buffer. The new stream buffer has the same attributes, size, position
+and they share the same buffer. This will cause problems if the stream to
+which the stream buffer belong is destroyed and the newly cloned stream
+buffer continues to be used, trying to call functions in the (destroyed)
+stream. It is advised to use this feature only in very local area of the
program.
