Hi

I think this is a glibc issue but since this method is defined in the C++
standards, I thought there were plenty of language lawyers here. :)

<strstream>
   class strstreambuf : public basic_streambuf<char, char_traits<char> >
   ISSUE ====> int pcount() const;   <===== ISSUE

My reading of the C++03 and draft C++14 says that the int pcount() method
in this class is not const. glibc has it const in the glibc shipped with
Fedora 20
and CentOS 6.

This is a simple test case:

    #include <strstream>

    int main() {
        int (std::strstreambuf::*dummy)() = &std::strstreambuf::pcount; 
/*-- pcount is conformant --*/
        return 0;
    }

What's the consensus?

Thanks.
