I'm trying to output content of boost::asio::streambuf object with boost::log library. I defined operator<< overload in the following way:
ostream& operator<<(ostream& ostr, const boost::asio::streambuf& buffer)
{
for (size_t i = 0; i < buffer.size(); ++i)
{
ostr << hex << (int) buffer_cast<const char*>(buffer.data())[i] << " ";
}
return ostr;
}
But after trying to output the content of the buffer:
BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(trace) << buffer;
I have the following error:

What is the right way to output the content of the buffer?
Your operator<< is not found by ADL. See the first part of this answer.
