I'm trying to use an fstream in C++ and I keep getting the following error:

/usr/include/gcc/darwin/2.95.2/g++/streambuf.h:132: `ios::ios(const ios &' is private within this context

The following will cause the error:

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

#define BUFFER_SIZE 256

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        char buf[BUFFER_SIZE];

        ifstream fin = ifstream("foo.cpp");
        while (!fin.eof()) {
                fin.read(buf, BUFFER_SIZE);
                cout.write(buf, fin.gcount());
        }

        fin.close();

        return 0;
}

I am running OS X 10.1.5 on a B&W @ 350MHz if that helps.

Does it work if you make your constructor look like this?

Code:
ifstream fin("foo.cpp");

I've had problems (can't remember what they were) with fstream on OS X. Whatever they were, they made me start using code like the following on a regular basis:

Code:
ifstream fin = new ifstream("foo.cpp");
// do something
delete fin;

Thanks, the direct construction works.
