Constructor & Destructor Documentation

stdio_filebuf (   )  [inline]

deferred initialization Definition at line 67 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

stdio_filebuf (  int  __fd, std::ios_base::openmode  __mode, size_t  __size = static_cast< size_t >(BUFSIZ) )

Parameters: fd  An open file descriptor. mode  Same meaning as in a standard filebuf. size  Optimal or preferred size of internal buffer, in chars. This constructor associates a file stream buffer with an open POSIX file descriptor. The file descriptor will be automatically closed when the stdio_filebuf is closed/destroyed. Definition at line 129 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

stdio_filebuf (  std::__c_file *  __f, std::ios_base::openmode  __mode, size_t  __size = static_cast< size_t >(BUFSIZ) )

Parameters: f  An open FILE*. mode  Same meaning as in a standard filebuf. size  Optimal or preferred size of internal buffer, in chars. Defaults to system's BUFSIZ. This constructor associates a file stream buffer with an open C FILE*. The FILE* will not be automatically closed when the stdio_filebuf is closed/destroyed. Definition at line 145 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

~stdio_filebuf (   )  [virtual]

Closes the external data stream if the file descriptor constructor was used. Definition at line 124 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

Member Function Documentation

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::__filebuf_type * close (   )  throw () [inherited]

Closes the currently associated file. Returns: this on success, NULL on failure If no file is currently open, this function immediately fails. If a "put buffer area" exists, overflow(eof) is called to flush all the characters. The file is then closed. If any operations fail, this function also fails. Definition at line 130 of file fstream.tcc. Referenced by basic_fstream::close(), basic_ofstream::close(), basic_ifstream::close(), basic_filebuf::open(), and basic_filebuf< char_type, traits_type >::~basic_filebuf().

char_type* eback (   )  const [inline, protected, inherited]

Access to the get area. These functions are only available to other protected functions, including derived classes. eback() returns the beginning pointer for the input sequence gptr() returns the next pointer for the input sequence egptr() returns the end pointer for the input sequence Definition at line 456 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_filebuf::imbue(), basic_stringbuf::overflow(), basic_stringbuf::seekoff(), basic_filebuf::seekoff(), basic_stringbuf::seekpos(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sputbackc(), and basic_filebuf::underflow().

int fd (   )  [inline]

Returns: The underlying file descriptor. Once associated with an external data stream, this function can be used to access the underlying POSIX file descriptor. Note that there is no way for the library to track what you do with the descriptor, so be careful. Definition at line 110 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

std::__c_file* file (   )  [inline]

Returns: The underlying FILE*. This function can be used to access the underlying "C" file pointer. Note that there is no way for the library to track what you do with the file, so be careful. Definition at line 120 of file stdio_filebuf.h.

void gbump (  int  __n  )  [inline, protected, inherited]

Moving the read position. Parameters: n  The delta by which to move. This just advances the read position without returning any data. Definition at line 472 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_stringbuf::pbackfail(), basic_filebuf::pbackfail(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sbumpc(), basic_stringbuf::seekoff(), basic_stringbuf::seekpos(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sputbackc(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::stossc(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sungetc(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::uflow(), and basic_streambuf::xsgetn().

locale getloc (   )  const [inline, inherited]

Locale access. Returns: The current locale in effect. If pubimbue(loc) has been called, then the most recent loc is returned. Otherwise the global locale in effect at the time of construction is returned. Definition at line 219 of file streambuf.

void imbue (  const locale &  __loc  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Changes translations. Parameters: loc  A new locale. Translations done during I/O which depend on the current locale are changed by this call. The standard adds, "Between invocations of this function a class derived from streambuf can safely cache results of calls to locale functions and to members of facets so obtained." Note: Base class version does nothing. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 827 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::cur, basic_streambuf::eback(), and basic_filebuf::seekoff().

streamsize in_avail (   )  [inline, inherited]

Looking ahead into the stream. Returns: The number of characters available. If a read position is available, returns the number of characters available for reading before the buffer must be refilled. Otherwise returns the derived showmanyc(). Definition at line 259 of file streambuf.

bool is_open (   )  const throw () [inline, inherited]

Returns true if the external file is open. Definition at line 247 of file fstream. Referenced by basic_fstream::is_open(), basic_ofstream::is_open(), and basic_ifstream::is_open().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::__filebuf_type * open (  const char *  __s, ios_base::openmode  __mode )  [inherited]

Opens an external file. Parameters: s  The name of the file. mode  The open mode flags. Returns: this on success, NULL on failure If a file is already open, this function immediately fails. Otherwise it tries to open the file named s using the flags given in mode. [Table 92 gives the relation between openmode combinations and the equivalent fopen() flags, but the table has not been copied yet.] Definition at line 96 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::ate, basic_filebuf::close(), and ios_base::end. Referenced by basic_fstream::open(), basic_ofstream::open(), and basic_ifstream::open().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::int_type overflow (  int_type  __c = _Traits::eof()  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Consumes data from the buffer; writes to the controlled sequence. Parameters: c  An additional character to consume. Returns: eof() to indicate failure, something else (usually c, or not_eof()) Informally, this function is called when the output buffer is full (or does not exist, as buffering need not actually be done). If a buffer exists, it is "consumed", with "some effect" on the controlled sequence. (Typically, the buffer is written out to the sequence verbatim.) In either case, the character c is also written out, if c is not eof(). For a formal definiton of this function, see a good text such as Langer & Kreft, or [27.5.2.4.5]/3-7. A functioning output streambuf can be created by overriding only this function (no buffer area will be used). Note: Base class version does nothing, returns eof(). Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 393 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::out, basic_streambuf::pbase(), and basic_streambuf::pbump(). Referenced by basic_filebuf::sync().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::int_type pbackfail (  int_type  __i = _Traits::eof()  )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Tries to back up the input sequence. Parameters: c  The character to be inserted back into the sequence. Returns: eof() on failure, "some other value" on success Postcondition: The constraints of gptr(), eback(), and pptr() are the same as for underflow(). Note: Base class version does nothing, returns eof(). Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 341 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::cur, basic_streambuf::gbump(), ios_base::in, and basic_filebuf::underflow().

char_type* pbase (   )  const [inline, protected, inherited]

Access to the put area. These functions are only available to other protected functions, including derived classes. pbase() returns the beginning pointer for the output sequence pptr() returns the next pointer for the output sequence epptr() returns the end pointer for the output sequence Definition at line 503 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_stringbuf::overflow(), basic_filebuf::overflow(), basic_stringbuf::seekoff(), and basic_stringbuf::seekpos().

void pbump (  int  __n  )  [inline, protected, inherited]

Moving the write position. Parameters: n  The delta by which to move. This just advances the write position without returning any data. Definition at line 519 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_filebuf::overflow(), basic_stringbuf::seekoff(), basic_stringbuf::seekpos(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sputc(), and basic_streambuf::xsputn().

locale pubimbue (  const locale &  __loc  )  [inline, inherited]

Entry point for imbue(). Parameters: loc  The new locale. Returns: The previous locale. Calls the derived imbue(loc). Definition at line 202 of file streambuf.

__streambuf_type* pubsetbuf (  char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [inline, inherited]

Entry points for derived buffer functions. The public versions of pubfoo dispatch to the protected derived foo member functions, passing the arguments (if any) and returning the result unchanged. Definition at line 232 of file streambuf.

int_type sbumpc (   )  [inline, inherited]

Getting the next character. Returns: The next character, or eof. If the input read position is available, returns that character and increments the read pointer, otherwise calls and returns uflow(). Definition at line 291 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_istream::getline(), basic_istream::ignore(), istreambuf_iterator::operator++(), and std::operator>>().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::pos_type seekoff (  off_type  __off, ios_base::seekdir  __way, ios_base::openmode  __mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Alters the stream positions. Each derived class provides its own appropriate behavior. Note: Base class version does nothing, returns a pos_type that represents an invalid stream position. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 661 of file fstream.tcc. References __codecvt_abstract_base::always_noconv(), ios_base::cur, basic_streambuf::eback(), __codecvt_abstract_base::encoding(), and __codecvt_abstract_base::length(). Referenced by basic_filebuf::imbue().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::pos_type seekpos (  pos_type  __pos, ios_base::openmode  __mode = ios_base::in | ios_base::out )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Alters the stream positions. Each derived class provides its own appropriate behavior. Note: Base class version does nothing, returns a pos_type that represents an invalid stream position. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 714 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::beg.

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::__streambuf_type * setbuf (  char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Manipulates the buffer. Parameters: s  Pointer to a buffer area. n  Size of s. Returns: this If no file has been opened, and both s and n are zero, then the stream becomes unbuffered. Otherwise, s is used as a buffer; see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/27_io/howto.html#2 for more. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 634 of file fstream.tcc.

void setg (  char_type *  __gbeg, char_type *  __gnext, char_type *  __gend )  [inline, protected, inherited]

Setting the three read area pointers. Parameters: gbeg  A pointer. gnext  A pointer. gend  A pointer. Postcondition: gbeg == eback(), gnext == gptr(), and gend == egptr() Definition at line 483 of file streambuf.

void setp (  char_type *  __pbeg, char_type *  __pend )  [inline, protected, inherited]

Setting the three write area pointers. Parameters: pbeg  A pointer. pend  A pointer. Postcondition: pbeg == pbase(), pbeg == pptr(), and pend == epptr() Definition at line 529 of file streambuf.

int_type sgetc (   )  [inline, inherited]

Getting the next character. Returns: The next character, or eof. If the input read position is available, returns that character, otherwise calls and returns underflow(). Does not move the read position after fetching the character. Definition at line 313 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_istream::get(), basic_istream::getline(), basic_istream::ignore(), and basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::snextc().

streamsize sgetn (  char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [inline, inherited]

Entry point for xsgetn. Parameters: s  A buffer area. n  A count. Returns xsgetn(s,n). The effect is to fill s[0] through s[n-1] with characters from the input sequence, if possible. Definition at line 332 of file streambuf.

streamsize showmanyc (   )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Investigating the data available. Returns: An estimate of the number of characters available in the input sequence, or -1. "If it returns a positive value, then successive calls to underflow() will not return traits::eof() until at least that number of characters have been supplied. If showmanyc() returns -1, then calls to underflow() or uflow() will fail." [27.5.2.4.3]/1 Note: Base class version does nothing, returns zero. The standard adds that "the intention is not only that the calls [to underflow or uflow] will not return eof() but that they will return "immediately". The standard adds that "the morphemes of showmanyc are "es-how-many-see", not "show-manic". Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 165 of file fstream.tcc. References ios_base::binary, and ios_base::in.

int_type snextc (   )  [inline, inherited]

Getting the next character. Returns: The next character, or eof. Calls sbumpc(), and if that function returns traits::eof(), so does this function. Otherwise, sgetc(). Definition at line 273 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_istream::get(), basic_istream::getline(), and basic_istream::ignore().

int_type sputbackc (  char_type  __c  )  [inline, inherited]

Pushing characters back into the input stream. Parameters: c  The character to push back. Returns: The previous character, if possible. Similar to sungetc(), but c is pushed onto the stream instead of "the previous character". If successful, the next character fetched from the input stream will be c. Definition at line 346 of file streambuf. Referenced by std::operator>>(), and basic_istream::putback().

int_type sputc (  char_type  __c  )  [inline, inherited]

Entry point for all single-character output functions. Parameters: c  A character to output. Returns: c, if possible. One of two public output functions. If a write position is available for the output sequence (i.e., the buffer is not full), stores c in that position, increments the position, and returns traits::to_int_type(c). If a write position is not available, returns overflow(c). Definition at line 398 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_istream::get(), ostreambuf_iterator::operator=(), and basic_stringbuf::overflow().

streamsize sputn (  const char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [inline, inherited]

Entry point for all single-character output functions. Parameters: s  A buffer read area. n  A count. One of two public output functions. Returns xsputn(s,n). The effect is to write s[0] through s[n-1] to the output sequence, if possible. Definition at line 424 of file streambuf.

void stossc (   )  [inline, inherited]

Tosses a character. Advances the read pointer, ignoring the character that would have been read. See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2002-05/msg00168.html Note: This function has been deprecated by the standard. You must define _GLIBCXX_DEPRECATED to make this visible; see c++config.h. Definition at line 760 of file streambuf.

int_type sungetc (   )  [inline, inherited]

Moving backwards in the input stream. Returns: The previous character, if possible. If a putback position is available, this function decrements the input pointer and returns that character. Otherwise, calls and returns pbackfail(). The effect is to "unget" the last character "gotten". Definition at line 371 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_istream::unget().

int sync (   )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Synchronizes the buffer arrays with the controlled sequences. Returns: -1 on failure. Each derived class provides its own appropriate behavior, including the definition of "failure". Note: Base class version does nothing, returns zero. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 810 of file fstream.tcc. References basic_filebuf::overflow().

virtual int_type uflow (   )  [inline, protected, virtual, inherited]

Fetches more data from the controlled sequence. Returns: The first character from the pending sequence. Informally, this function does the same thing as underflow(), and in fact is required to call that function. It also returns the new character, like underflow() does. However, this function also moves the read position forward by one. Reimplemented in stdio_sync_filebuf. Definition at line 674 of file streambuf. Referenced by basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::sbumpc(), basic_streambuf< char_type, traits_type >::stossc(), and basic_streambuf::xsgetn().

basic_filebuf< _CharT, _Traits >::int_type underflow (   )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Fetches more data from the controlled sequence. Returns: The first character from the pending sequence. Informally, this function is called when the input buffer is exhausted (or does not exist, as buffering need not actually be done). If a buffer exists, it is "refilled". In either case, the next available character is returned, or traits::eof() to indicate a null pending sequence. For a formal definiton of the pending sequence, see a good text such as Langer & Kreft, or [27.5.2.4.3]/7-14. A functioning input streambuf can be created by overriding only this function (no buffer area will be used). For an example, see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/27_io/howto.html#6 Note: Base class version does nothing, returns eof(). Reimplemented from basic_streambuf. Definition at line 191 of file fstream.tcc. References std::copy(), basic_streambuf::eback(), __codecvt_abstract_base::encoding(), __codecvt_abstract_base::in(), ios_base::in, __codecvt_abstract_base::max_length(), and std::min(). Referenced by basic_filebuf::pbackfail().

virtual streamsize xsgetn (  char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Multiple character extraction. Parameters: s  A buffer area. n  Maximum number of characters to assign. Returns: The number of characters assigned. Fills s[0] through s[n-1] with characters from the input sequence, as if by sbumpc(). Stops when either n characters have been copied, or when traits::eof() would be copied. It is expected that derived classes provide a more efficient implementation by overriding this definition. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf.

virtual streamsize xsputn (  const char_type *  __s, streamsize  __n )  [protected, virtual, inherited]

Multiple character insertion. Parameters: s  A buffer area. n  Maximum number of characters to write. Returns: The number of characters written. Writes s[0] through s[n-1] to the output sequence, as if by sputc(). Stops when either n characters have been copied, or when sputc() would return traits::eof(). It is expected that derived classes provide a more efficient implementation by overriding this definition. Reimplemented from basic_streambuf.
