From: swarnerx3@acadia.net (Scott Warner) Subject: Debugging 10 Nov 1997 02:33:15 -0800 Message-ID: <199711101016.FAA06387.cygnus.gnu-win32@p2.acadia.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Thanks for all your help! I have isolated the problem to a binary file read error. f.open("bindings.dat", ios::in | ios::binary); while (!f.eof()) { f.read((unsigned char*)(tok), sizeof(int) * 3); // code follows here to test data }; The data is written to this file in chunks of 3 integers. Now, the file is 0 bytes because there is no data written. When I test the file open I find f.bad() and f.fail() both return nonzero values. I feel this is probably something simple, but can anyone tell me what is wrong here? Will this error always occur with 0 length files? The bad() being set sounds... well, bad. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
