Problem with conversion to hex string.

[souldog]

Can anyone see why this code produces the string "0" when 0x00 is plugged into
it instead of 0x00.
It works fine with 0xff for example.

template <typename CT, typename T> //PARAMETERIZED OVER CHARACTER AND NUMERIC TYPE TO BE CONVERTED
std::basic_string<CT> CONVERT_TO_STRING(const T& t, std::ios_base & (*f)(std::ios_base&), const  std::streamsize precision)
{
	std::basic_ostringstream<CT> oss;
	oss.setf(std::ios::showbase);
	oss <<std::fixed<<std::setprecision(precision)<< f << t;
	return oss.str();
};

CONVERT_TO_STRING<char>(0x00, std::hex, 0)
