O_CREAT | O_EXCL with ofstream

Hi,
I used to use:
int fd = open("file", O_CREAT |Â O_EXCL);
ofstream os(fd);
but ofstream::ofstream(int fd) has also been deprecated (sigh), so
I see no way anymore to atomically ensure that a file was not already
existing when creating a new one.
I've searched everywhere on the Web, and I could only find a
reference of a ios_base::noreplace which does not seem to exist.
So how do I get an ofstream while ensuring atomicity? (O_CREAT |Â O_EXCL behaviour)
Any clue?
Herve
