Re: [Boost-users] Compress to buffer

Also, supposing I go with something like vector or something,

Why would you? Unless you can guarantee that you're always going to get a multiple of 8 bytes after compression, that seems like asking for trouble.

how do I create a device to make the filtering stream complete? I had: fos->push(boost::iostreams::back_insert_device<string>(*x)); now I need to do: fos->push(boost::iostreams::back_insert_device>(*x)); but it complains with "error: no matching function for call to" construct it, and then says that it wants one of a ton of different valid things, but it template expands all of them so it's a bunch of text...

Your ostream is templated on char, therefore it produces chars. You can't just insert a char into a vector of int64s.
