Re: [boost] Boost should not be saying "_FPOSOFF"

OK, in more detail: the actual offset in a std::streampos is "_Fpos + _Myoff". std::streampos::seekpos returns "_Fpos" std::streamoff(std::streampos) returns "_Myoff + _FPOSOFF(_Fpos)" to get to the desired "_Fpos + _Myoff" we run: std::streampos::seekpos() + std::streamoff(std::streampos) - _FPOSOFF( std::streampos::seekpos() ) which is equivalent to: _Fpos + std::streamoff(std::streampos) - _FPOSOFF( _Fpos ) which is equivalent to: _Fpos + _Myoff + _FPOSOFF(_Fpos) - _FPOSOFF( _Fpos ) the two _FPOSOFF(_Fpos) cancel out to leave the desired: _Fpos + _Myoff -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-should-not-be-saying-FPOSOFF-tp4687...
