How so?
You fail to explain how it does anything other than what the standard tells you it does.
Please give a code example of this flaw.
I discovered this afternoon that it's already been acknowledged by Microsoft as a bug. It affects VC8 and 9 but is fixed in VC10. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/361133/a-call-to-... Since I'm using VC8 I'll be trying some workarounds tomorrow. I did try the fstream implementation from boost::filesystem (v1.40, I think) but it seemed to have the same problem. Thanks for your reply. John
