Discussion:

Sections 31.4.3 [narrow.stream.objects] and 31.4.4 [wide.stream.objects] mention a function ios_base::init, which is not defined. Probably they mean basic_ios<>::init, defined in 31.5.4.2 [basic.ios.cons], paragraph 3.

Proposed resolution:

[R12: modified to include paragraph 5.]

In 31.4.3 [narrow.stream.objects] paragraph 2 and 5, change

> ios_base::init

to

> basic_ios<char>::init

Also, make a similar change in 31.4.4 [wide.stream.objects] except it should read

> basic_ios<wchar_t>::init
