How do you clear a stringstream variable?

Question

I\'ve tried several things already,

std::stringstream m;
m.empty();
m.clear();

both of which don\'t work.

Answer 1

I am always scoping it:

{
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << "what";
}

{
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << "the";
}

{
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << "heck";
}
