Re: [Boost-users] Read/write with gzip

Hello, I previously managed to write data to a gzipped file using the following code structure (it's an example of course, the "memblock" is actually filled with real data and the real filename is specified elsewhere).

#include #include #include #include #include #include

namespace io = boost::iostreams;

int size = 1000; char* memblock = new char [size];

io::filtering_ostream out; out.push(io::gzip_compressor()); out.push(io::file_descriptor_sink("c:/outfile.gz")); out.write (memblock, size);

Is there a reason not to invoke the stream's member function 'close' at
