question for anyone using gxx for reading and writing binary files:
I'm using DJGPP version 2.0 with cwsdpmi v.90+, coding in c++ and
compiling with gxx, and I am running into difficulties updating existing
binary files. Reading in binary information via <ifstream>.read works
without any problems (i've been using it for weeks), however
<ofstream>.write only wants to work if the file is new, or if the
ofstream
object is opened with (ios::binary | ios:app) (append)
flags. If I attempt to <ofstream>.seekp a random location in the file
and
<ofstream>.write, the program freezes and locks up the machine. I've
read all the information in the DJGPP info directory, and scowered the
net for some assistance with ths problem and I cannot determine why I am
having these difficulties modifying random locations of binary files. If
anyone has any ideas, or knows about a problem/bug, etc, please drop me
some mail, as I do not make it to usenet on a regular basis.
