Constructs new file stream.
open() call returns a null pointer, setssetstate(failbit).Overload(3) is only provided ifstd::filesystem::path::value_type is notchar.(since C++17)FsPath isstd::filesystem::path.(since C++17)rdbuf() pointer), then move-constructs thestd::basic_filebuf member, then callsthis->set_rdbuf() to install the newbasic_filebuf as therdbuf() pointer in the base class.Contents |
