Sorry about the delay.....
Ummmmm. Have you tried this recently?
[snip]
const std::streamsize it = 5;
assert( eifs.getline(tmp,it) ); // use eifs.getline(...); eifs.fail()
assert( eifs.gcount() == it ); // no, it - 1 max possible to extract
characters are no longer extracted and stored after n - 1, so gcount()
over it - 1 (4) would be incorrect.
