Please someone log a bug for this; I tried and couldn't get the Trac system to think that my submission was not a spam. It offered me a page that mentioned something about CAPTCHA, but without the CAPTCHA input! Much appreciate your help! On 6 December 2013 10:43, Dino Korah <dckorah+boost-users@gmail.com> wrote:

Platform: GCC on Linux; boost 1.55.

In the code fragment below, is there a way to handle ENOSPC?

#include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <boost/iostreams/filtering_streambuf.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/copy.hpp> #include <boost/iostreams/filter/bzip2.hpp>

// open input file stream of the bzip2 file std::ifstream ifs("file.bz2");

// open output stream to the "full" device // full device is a "utility-device" to check how applications handle ENOSPC // more details in "man full" std::ofstream ofs("/dev/full");

// Setup the iostreams filter boost::iostreams::filtering_streambuf<boost::iostreams::output> filters; filters.push(boost::iostreams::bzip2_decompressor()); filters.push(ofs);

// "run" the filter boost::iostreams::copy(ifs, filters);

If I do strace of the compiled binary, the code seem to infinitely call writev() with the same data and returns ENOSPC error.

writev(4, [{NULL, 0}, {"DATA DATA "..., 4096}], 2) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device)

How can this error be handled or made thrown as an error from boost::iostreams::copy()

Is it possible to set appropriate exceptions() on the ofstream object? I tried ofs.exceptions(std::ios::badbit | std::ios::failbit) but it didn't make any difference.
