Is there a way to specify new open modes for std::stringstream after it's been created? I.e. "re-create" the object with new modes. 

std::stringstream(ios_base::binary | ios_base::app);

// set new modes?

Not without at least re-creating the stream buffer. And open modes are pretty much irrelevant for a string stream.

How would you go about re-creating the buffer? And why are the modes irrelevant?

Thanks

Think about it, what do the modes mean? binary only applies to new line translations for files, app means to open to the end of the file and append there, etc. Most of the flags are only meaningful for file streams.
