Why does this specialized char_traits and c

问题:

There are already questions here on Stackoverflow asking why basic_fstream<uint8_t> doesn't work. The answers say that char_traits is only specialized for char and wchar_t (plus char16_t, char32_t in C++11) and you should stick with basic_fstream<char> to read binary data and cast it if required.

Well darn it, that isn't good enough! :)

None of the answers (that I can find) say how to specialize char_traits<uint8_t> and use it with a basic_fstream template, or if it's even possible. So I thought I'd try implement it myself.

The following compiles without error when using Visual Studio Express 2013 RC on Windows 7 64bit and with g++-4.7 on Kubuntu GNU/Linux 13.04 64bit. However it throws a std::bad_cast exception at runtime. I don't have access to clang++ with libc++ to test that combination.

Compile and run with g++ and GNU/Linux:

$ g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic stream.cpp -o stream && ./stream /dev/random 
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast
Aborted (core dumped)

And with Visual Studio Express RC 2013:

First-chance exception at 0x76A6C41F in traits test.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_cast at memory location 0x0038F978.
Unhandled exception at 0x76A6C41F in traits test.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_cast at memory location 0x0038F978.

Changing byte_type to char gives the expected output:

$ g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic stream.cpp -o stream && ./stream /dev/random 
Got:4

Why is this throwing std::bad_cast and how can I fix it?

回答1:

I was able to reproduce a bad_cast on my gcc (4.7.2 on AIX).

The reason you got it is that gcc library implementors optimized basic_filebuf::xsgetn (which is called from basic_istream::read) to call plain C fread to read from the file if your stream's locale is non-converting (that is, you're not trying to read a UTF-8 or maybe GB18030 file into a UTF-32 string or something), which is absolutely the right thing to do. To find out if it is non-converting, it checks codecvt::always_noconv on the codecvt facet of the locale imbued in your stream... which doesn't exist.

You can reproduce the exception by executing

std::cout << std::use_facet<
                     std::codecvt<std::uint8_t, char, std::mbstate_t>
             >(stream.getloc()).always_noconv() << '\n';

I don't have access to Visual Studio to see why it works there (do they just call basic_filebuf::sgetc() for every char in basic_fstream::read()?), but to use basic_filestream in any case, you need to provide a codecvt facet for your combination of internal and external types (uint8_t and char, in this case).

EDIT: You're almost there, the last missing piece is the line

stream.imbue(std::locale(stream.getloc(), 
             new std::codecvt<uint8_t, char, std::mbstate_t>));

anywhere before stream.read or, alternatively, imbue the global: std::locale::global(std::locale(std::locale(), new std::codecvt<uint8_t, char, std::mbstate_t>)); anywhere before you construct the basic_ifstream
