Re: [boost] [iostreams] file_descriptor::read bug?

19 Apr 2007

      Besides, is the iostreams Jam (v2) file missing something? The file
file_descriptor.cpp seems not to be in the resulting libraries on Linux and
Mac OS X, while it's fine on Windows.

In the source libs/iostreams/src/file_descriptor.cpp, file_descriptor::read,
line 147, I think
return static_cast<std::streamsize>(result);
should be
return static_cast<std::streamsize>(result == 0? -1: result);
The Windows API ReadFile returns TRUE with result == 0 when it has come to
end-of-file.
