How's this work for you:

void f()
{
        // ...
        int const buff_size = 4096;
        char buff[buff_size];
        string str;
        while( !cin.eof() )
        {
                cin.read(buff, buff_size);
                str.append(buff, cin.gcount());
        }
        // ...
}

HTH,
