Subject:	Bug in IOSTREAM?
To:	djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

I am using the DJGPP installation on my 486-66 machine. I am writing some
software in C++. I detected some strange problem using the library of C++ for
I/O. It seems that appending some information to a file fails completely, and
leads to a crash of the program. The same program can be compiled on other
platforms (LINUX the same type of machine) and runs perfectly........... 
Can anybody give me a hint what is
the matter with my installation of DJGPP, or is it a bug?




PROGRAM:

#include    <stdlib.h>
#include	<stdio.h>
#include	<math.h>
#include	<fstream.h>
#include	<string.h>


void    writeToFile(char filename[], int teller)
{
    fstream stream(filename, ios::app);      // ****** This gives the 
problem ******
    stream << '\n'  << "iter = " << teller ;
    stream.close();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char  filename[13];
	int i;

                    if (argc < 2)
	{
	   cerr << "Not enough arguments: give a filename";
	   exit(1);
	}
	strcpy(filename,argv[1]);
	
	fstream stream(filename, ios::out);
	stream << '\n' << "Filename: " << filename << '\n';
	stream.close();
                    for (i=0; i<10; i++)  writeToFile(filename, i);
                    return (0);
}


I have checked the program with the GNU debugger, and this program reports a 
crash in the  the:

    filebuf::open


Looking forward to get an answer to my problem!
