Can't return stream

[Ivan Martinez]

	Hello all,
	I have a function where I want to return an stream:

iostream Class::ErrorsReport() const
{
	iostream ErrorsReport;
	...
	return ErrorsReport;
}

	I tried with iostream, stream, strstream, ostrstream..., declaring the
function const and non const, and I always get:

.../g++-3/streambuf.h:128:'ios::ios(const ios&)' is private
...: within this context

	(Last one refers to return keyword line)
	Isn't it possible to return a copy of a stream?.
