Extensions allowing <code class="code">filebuf</code>s to be constructed from
|
||
"C" types like FILE*s and file descriptors.

</p><div class="sect1" title="Derived filebufs"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="manual.ext.io.filebuf_derived"></a>Derived filebufs</h2></div></div></div><p>The v2 library included non-standard extensions to construct
|
||
<code class="code">std::filebuf</code>s from C stdio types such as
|
||
<code class="code">FILE*</code>s and POSIX file descriptors.
|
||
Today the recommended way to use stdio types with libstdc++
|
||
IOStreams is via the <code class="code">stdio_filebuf</code> class (see below),
|
||
but earlier releases provided slightly different mechanisms.
|
||
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>3.0.x <code class="code">filebuf</code>s have another ctor with this signature:
|
||
<code class="code">basic_filebuf(__c_file_type*, ios_base::openmode, int_type);
|
||
</code>
|
||
This comes in very handy in a number of places, such as
|
||
attaching Unix sockets, pipes, and anything else which uses file
|
||
descriptors, into the IOStream buffering classes. The three
|
||
arguments are as follows:
|
||
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="circle"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">__c_file_type* F </code>
|
||
// the __c_file_type typedef usually boils down to stdio's FILE
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">ios_base::openmode M </code>
|
||
// same as all the other uses of openmode
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="code">int_type B </code>
|
||
// buffer size, defaults to BUFSIZ if not specified
|
||
</p></li></ul></div><p>
|
||
For those wanting to use file descriptors instead of FILE*'s, I
|
||
invite you to contemplate the mysteries of C's <code class="code">fdopen()</code>.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>In library snapshot 3.0.95 and later, <code class="code">filebuf</code>s bring
|
||
back an old extension: the <code class="code">fd()</code> member function. The
|
||
integer returned from this function can be used for whatever file
|
||
descriptors can be used for on your platform. Naturally, the
|
||
library cannot track what you do on your own with a file descriptor,
|
||
so if you perform any I/O directly, don't expect the library to be
|
||
aware of it.
|
||
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Beginning with 3.1, the extra <code class="code">filebuf</code> constructor and
|
||
the <code class="code">fd()</code> function were removed from the standard
|
||
filebuf. Instead, <code class="code"><ext/stdio_filebuf.h></code> contains
|
||
a derived class called
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/a00074.html" target="_top"><code class="code">__gnu_cxx::stdio_filebuf</code></a>.
|
||
This class can be constructed from a C <code class="code">FILE*</code> or a file
|
||
descriptor, and provides the <code class="code">fd()</code> function.
|
||
</p></li></ul></div><p>If you want to access a <code class="code">filebuf</code>'s file descriptor to
|
||
implement file locking (e.g. using the <code class="code">fcntl()</code> system
|
||
call) then you might be interested in Henry Suter's RWLock class.
