std::basic_ios::bad(3) C++ Standard Libary std::basic_ios::bad(3)

NAME

std::basic_ios::bad - std::basic_ios::bad

Synopsis


bool bad() const;


Returns true if non-recoverable error has occurred on the associated stream.
Specifically, returns true if badbit is set in rdstate().


See ios_base::iostate for the list of conditions that set badbit.

Parameters


(none)

Return value


true if a non-recoverable error has occurred, false otherwise.

Example

// Run this code


#include <cstdlib>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
std::ifstream file("test.txt");
if (!file) // operator! is used here
{
std::cout << "File opening failed\n";
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}


// typical C++ I/O loop uses the return value of the I/O function
// as the loop controlling condition, operator bool() is used here
for (int n; file >> n;)
std::cout << n << ' ';
std::cout << '\n';


if (file.bad())
std::cout << "I/O error while reading\n";
else if (file.eof())
std::cout << "End of file reached successfully\n";
else if (file.fail())
std::cout << "Non-integer data encountered\n";
}
