ifstream::read doesn't tell how many bytes it really reads?
问题 I'm using ifstream::read to read a file, ifstream ifs("a.txt"); char buf[1024]; ifs.read(buf, 1024); But a.txt's size might be less than 1000 bytes , so how am I supposed to know how many bytes have been read from ifs ? 回答1: You can get the amount of characters extracted by the last operation with std::ifstream::gcount: ifstream ifs("a.txt"); char buf[1024]; ifs.read(buf, 1024); size_t extracted = ifs.gcount(); or ifstream ifs("a.txt"); char buf[1024]; size_t extracted = ifs.read(buf, 1024)
