a bug in mingw
//this shows that the older version of mingw32 can be better than the newer one
#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <conio.h>
main()
{
//the string should be written two times if the file exists
ifstream xyz;
char chr;
xyz.open("a.bat");
while(xyz.get(chr)) cout<<chr; //INFO: it always works
xyz.close();
xyz.open("a.bat"); //on the newer version, the file is not opened
while(xyz.get(chr)) cout<<chr; //INFO: it works on the older version ONLY
getch();
//newer version 3.4.2 (Dev-Cpp 4.9.9.2)
//older: 2.95.3-6 (Dev-Cpp 4.9.6.0)
//parameters:
//older version: d:\progra~1\dev-cpp\bin\g++.exe "bug.cpp" -o "bug.exe" -s
//newer version: d:\windows\dev-cpp\bin\g++.exe "bug.cpp" -o "bug.exe" -s

// probably the xyz.close() function does not work corectly
