Hi all,
I try to use memory map file. However, I don't know why the readsome return 0. It is fine if I use getline.
readsome on streams is generally a suboptimal idea unless you ensure that somehow, there's data in the rdbuf. If it's empty, readsome will not ever produce anything new. Personally, I really dislike the choice of "some" in the function name, as it for some reason makes it the first choice for people who don't know the difference between read and readsome. Unless you need the non-blockingness of readsome and are prepared to handle all the work around it, use read. Also note that eof() won't be true until _after_ a read past the end has failed, so your iteration, had it worked, would have erroneously processed one iteration too much. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
