If it were truly C++, you would have also showed the include files and
preprocessor macros that you used.  If you want help on this issue,
provide a COMPILABLE example, and preferably one that is not so masked by
macros that it looks more like pascal than C++.

Since the next revision of POSIX is introducing a new requirement for
mode_t to promote to int when passed through varargs (so that
open("foo",O_CREAT|O_RDWR,0666) will behave like programmers expect it to,
even though it is undefined in the current version of POSIX and SUSv3), it
is simpler to write:

printf ("Mode: %X\n", Stat.st_mode);
