i'm looking for clarification about such code snippet:
$ cat test.cpp
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::ifstream in( "/tmp" );
if ( in.good() )
{
std::cerr << "good()" << std::endl;
std::string buf;
while ( std::getline( in, buf ) )
std::cout << buf << std::endl;
}
}
on the linux/unix system makes no difference between a file and a directory,
since a directory is just a file containing names of other files.
libc.read returns an error -EISDIR so how the ifstream should behave?
