<p><b>Discussion:</b></p>
<p>Sections 31.4.3 <a href="https://wg21.link/narrow.stream.objects">[narrow.stream.objects]</a> and 31.4.4 <a href="https://wg21.link/wide.stream.objects">[wide.stream.objects]</a> mention
a function ios_base::init, which is not defined. Probably they mean
basic_ios&lt;&gt;::init, defined in 31.5.4.2 <a href="https://wg21.link/basic.ios.cons">[basic.ios.cons]</a>,
paragraph 3. </p>


<p id="res-29"><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p>
<p>[R12: modified to include paragraph 5.]</p>

<p>In 31.4.3 <a href="https://wg21.link/narrow.stream.objects">[narrow.stream.objects]</a> paragraph 2 and 5, change </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>ios_base::init </p>
</blockquote>

<p>to </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>basic_ios&lt;char&gt;::init </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Also, make a similar change in 31.4.4 <a href="https://wg21.link/wide.stream.objects">[wide.stream.objects]</a> except it
should read </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>basic_ios&lt;wchar_t&gt;::init </p>
</blockquote>
