you get a specific error condition when a C++ stream open fails? –arne Jun 27 '13 at 8:28 3 @Alex Farber: Sure. cerr << "Error code: " << strerror(errno); // Get some info as to why seems relevant to the question. –Matthieu Rouget Jun 27 '13 at 8:28 @MatthieuRouget: Check the possible duplicate I posted -- it seems this is non-standard behaviour only implemented by gcc. –arne Jun 27 '13 at 8:29 @MatthieuRouget: strerror(errno) works. Post this as answer, I will accept it. –0123456789 Jun 27 '13 at 8:37 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 30 down vote accepted Every system call that fails update the errno value. Thus, you can have more information about what happens when a ifstream open fails by using something like : cerr << "Error: " << strerror(errno); However, since every system call updates the global errno value, you may have issues in a multithreaded application, if another system call triggers an error between the execution of the f.open and use of errno. Edit (thanks to Arne Mertz and other people in the comments): e.what() seemed at first to be a more C++-idiomatically correct way of implementing this, however the string returned by this function is implementation-dependant and (at least in G++'s libstdc++) this fun

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up When will ofstream::open fail? up vote 10 down vote favorite 2 I am trying out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17337602/how-to-get-error-message-when-ifstream-open-fails try, catch, throw statements in C++ for file handling, and I have written a dummy code to catch all errors. My question is in order to check if I have got these right, I need an error to occur. Now I can easily check infile.fail() by simply not creating a file of the required name in the directory. But how will I be able to check the same for outfile.fail() (outfile http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5835848/when-will-ofstreamopen-fail is ofstream where as infile is ifstream). In which case, will the value for outfile.fail() be true? sample code [from comments on unapersson's answer, simplified to make issue clearer -zack]: #include
mask for the stream. The second form (2) sets a new exception mask for the stream and clears the stream's error http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ios/ios/exceptions/ state flags (as if member clear() was called). The exception mask is an internal value kept by all stream objects specifying for which state http://askubuntu.com/questions/561685/fatal-error-fstream-no-such-file-or-directory-when-uploading-code-to-arduino flags an exception of member type failure (or some derived type) is thrown when set. This mask is an object of member type iostate, which fstream error is a value formed by any combination of the following member constants: iostate value (member constants)indicatesfunctions to check state flags good()eof()fail()bad()rdstate() goodbitNo errors (zero value iostate)truefalsefalsefalsegoodbit eofbitEnd-of-File reached on input operationfalsetruefalsefalseeofbit failbitLogical error on i/o operationfalsefalsetruefalsefailbit badbitRead/writing error on i/o operationfalsefalsetruetruebadbit eofbit, failbit and badbit are member constants with implementation-defined fstream error handling values that can be combined (as if with the bitwise OR operator), so that the stream throws when any of the selected error state flags is set. goodbit is zero, indicating that no exceptions shall be thrown when an error state flags is set. All streams have goodbit by default (they do not throw exceptions due to error state flags being set). Parameters except A bitmask value of member type iostate formed by a combination of error state flag bits to be set (badbit, eofbit and/or failbit), or set to goodbit (or zero). Return Value The first form (1) returns a bitmask of member type iostate representing the existing exception mask before the call to this member function. Example 1
