Inserters
All the operator<< functions (aka formatted output functions) have some common behavior. Each starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. This can have several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag; see the sentry documentation for more.

If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument.

If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state without causing an ios_base::failure to be thrown. The original exception will then be rethrown.

class std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >" Controlling output for files.

Template Parameters

_CharT Type of character stream.
_Traits Traits for character type, defaults to char_traits<_CharT>.

This class supports reading from named files, using the inherited functions from std::basic_ostream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_filebuf is used, which this page refers to as sb.

Definition at line 656 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ofstream () [inline]

Default constructor. Initializes sb using its default constructor, and passes &sb to the base class initializer. Does not open any files (you haven't given it a filename to open).

Definition at line 682 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ofstream (const char * __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out|ios_base::trunc) [inline], [explicit]

Create an output file stream.

Parameters

__s Null terminated string specifying the filename.
__mode Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).

ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc is automatically included in __mode.

Tip: When using std::string to hold the filename, you must use .c_str() before passing it to this constructor.

Definition at line 697 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ofstream (const std::string & __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out|ios_base::trunc) [inline], [explicit]

Create an output file stream.

Parameters

__s std::string specifying the filename.
__mode Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).

ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc is automatically included in __mode.

Definition at line 715 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::~basic_ofstream () [inline]

The destructor does nothing. The file is closed by the filebuf object, not the formatting stream.

Definition at line 737 of file fstream.

Simple insertion.

Parameters

__c The character to insert.

Returns

*this

Tries to insert __c.

Note

This function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char.

Referenced by std::basic_ostream< char >::operator<<().

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > void std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::_M_write (const char_type * __s, streamsize __n) [inline], [inherited]

Core write functionality, without sentry.

Parameters

__s The array to insert.
__n Maximum number of characters to insert.

Definition at line 311 of file ostream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > void std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::close () [inline]

Close the file. Calls std::basic_filebuf::close(). If that function fails, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

Definition at line 839 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::flush [inherited]

Synchronizing the stream buffer.

Returns

*this

If rdbuf() is a null pointer, changes nothing.

Otherwise, calls rdbuf()->pubsync(), and if that returns -1, sets badbit.

Definition at line 211 of file ostream.tcc.

Referenced by std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::sentry().

Wrapper to test for an open file.

Returns

rdbuf()->is_open()

Definition at line 778 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > void std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::open (const char * __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc) [inline]

Opens an external file.

Parameters

__s The name of the file.
__mode The open mode flags.

Calls std::basic_filebuf::open(__s,__mode|out|trunc). If that function fails, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

Tip: When using std::string to hold the filename, you must use .c_str() before passing it to this constructor.

Definition at line 799 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > void std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::open (const std::string & __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc) [inline]

Opens an external file.

Parameters

__s The name of the file.
__mode The open mode flags.

Calls std::basic_filebuf::open(s,mode|out|trunc). If that function fails, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

Definition at line 820 of file fstream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > __ostream_type& std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator<< (__ostream_type &(*)(__ostream_type &) __pf) [inline], [inherited]

Interface for manipulators. Manipulators such as std::endl and std::hex use these functions in constructs like 'std::cout << std::endl'. For more information, see the iomanip header.

Definition at line 108 of file ostream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator<< (__streambuf_type * __sb) [inherited]

Extracting from another streambuf.

Parameters

__sb A pointer to a streambuf

This function behaves like one of the basic arithmetic extractors, in that it also constructs a sentry object and has the same error handling behavior.

If __sb is NULL, the stream will set failbit in its error state.

Characters are extracted from __sb and inserted into *this until one of the following occurs:

  • the input stream reaches end-of-file,
  • insertion into the output sequence fails (in this case, the character that would have been inserted is not extracted), or
  • an exception occurs while getting a character from __sb, which sets failbit in the error state

If the function inserts no characters, failbit is set.
