How can I add a char to an istringstream?

I'm trying to add a char to an istringstream - as so:

using namespace std;
istringstream input_buffer;    
char c;

while (is.get(c)) {
    input_buffer << c;
}

Sadly, this results in:

 error: invalid operands to binary expression ('std::__1::istringstream' (aka 'basic_istringstream<char>') and 'int')

What am I doing wrong? How can I do it right?

You cannot do that. It does not make sense either.

You are expected to read from an istringstream and write to an ostringstream.

Use ostringstream instead.

ostringstream output_buffer;    

while (is.get(c)) {
    output_buffer << c;
}
