ifstream

[no]

Hi,

A year or two ago I wrote some code that opened an ifstream like
ifstream(int) ... recently I tried recompiling this and it now complains
that the only constructor to ifstream is giving it a filename instead of an
int. Only change here is that I use a newer gcc nowadays. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thx

Lew

The newer gcc has clearly removed the *non-standard* overload
you were using.

This is the problem with non-standard code, sometimes it doesn't
even port to newer version's of the same compiler.

Ask in a gcc newsgroup ( news://gnu.gcc.help ) maybe there is
a way of turning this non-standard extension back on.
