Detailed Description

Class RWbistream specializes the abstract base class RWvistream to restore variables stored in binary format by RWbostream.

You can think of it as a binary veneer over an associated std::streambuf. Because the RWbistream retains no information about the state of its associated std::streambuf, its use can be freely exchanged with other users of the std::streambuf (such as an std::istream or std::ifstream).

RWbistream can be interrogated as to the stream state using member functions good(), bad(), eof(), and so on.

Synopsis

#include <rw/bstream.h>
RWbistream bstr(std::cin);  // Construct an RWbistream using cin's streambuf

Persistence

None

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

#include <rw/bstream.h>

int main()
{
    // Open an input file
    std::ifstream fstr("data.dat");

    // Construct RWbistream from it
    RWbistream bstr(fstr);

    int i;
    float f;
    double d;

    // Restore an int that was stored in binary
    if(!(bstr >> i))
    {
        std::cout << "Run bostream.exe first!\n";
    }
    else
    {
        // Restore a float & double
        bstr >> f >> d;

        std::cout << "The integer: " << i << std::endl;
        std::cout << "The float: " << f << std::endl;
        std::cout << "The double: " << d << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Program output:

An integer, a float and a double sent out on an RWbostream!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWbistream::RWbistream

(

std::istream &

str

)

Constructs an RWbistream using the std::streambuf associated with the std::istream str. For DOS, the std::streambuf must have been opened in binary mode.

RWbistream::RWbistream

(

std::streambuf *

sb

)

Constructs an RWbistream from the std::streambuf sb. For DOS, this std::streambuf must have been opened in binary mode.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int RWbistream::bad ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns a nonzero integer if the bad bit has been set. Normally this indicates that a severe error has occurred from which recovery is probably impossible.

Implements RWvistream.

virtual void RWbistream::clear ( int  v = 0 )

inlinevirtual

Sets the current error state to v. If v is zero, then this clears the error state.

virtual int RWbistream::eof ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns a nonzero integer if an EOF is encountered.

Implements RWvistream.

virtual int RWbistream::fail ( )
