读取文件内容并保存到string中

(最近在调整生物钟，晚上9点半前睡觉，早晨很早就醒了，利用早晨充足的时间可以读英语和写代码，感觉很好。)

不知道你是否考虑过这个问题：std::string究竟可以存储多大的字符串呢？

理论上std::string可以存储 std::string::max_size大小的内容。
我在Visual studio 2008上运行的结果是：max_size:4294967294

#include <iostream> // std::cout

#include <fstream> // std::ifstream

#include <string>

using namespace std;

bool readFileToString(string file_name, string& fileData)

{

bool ret = false;

ifstream file(file_name.c_str(), std::ifstream::binary);

if(file)

{

// Calculate the file's size, and allocate a buffer of that size.

file.seekg(0, file.end);

const int file_size = file.tellg();

char* file_buf = new char [file_size+1];

//make sure the end tag '\0' of string.

memset(file_buf, 0, file_size+1);

// Read the entire file into the buffer.

file.seekg(0, ios::beg);

file.read(file_buf, file_size);

if(file)

{

fileData.append(file_buf);

ret = true;

}

else

{

std::cout << "error: only " << file.gcount() << " could be read";

fileData.append(file_buf);

// ret =false;

}

file.close();

delete []file_buf;

}

return ret;

}

int main()

{

string data;

if(readFileToString("d:/Test.txt", data))

{

cout<<"File data is:\r\n"<<data<<endl;

}

else

{

cout<<"Failed to open the file, please check the file path."<<endl;

}

cout << "size: " << data.size() << "\n";

cout << "length: " << data.length() << "\n";

cout << "capacity: " << data.capacity() << "\n";

cout << "max_size: " << data.max_size() << "\n";

getchar();

}

运行结果：

（为了方便显示，这里打开的是一个很小的文件。）

#include <iostream> 
#include <fstream> 
#include <string>

using namespace std;

bool readFileToString(string file_name, string& fileData)
{

    ifstream file(file_name.c_str(),  std::ifstream::binary);
    
    if(file)
    {
        // Calculate the file's size, and allocate a buffer of that size.
        file.seekg(0, file.end);
        const int file_size = file.tellg();
        char* file_buf = new char [file_size+1];
        //make sure the end tag \0 of string.
        memset(file_buf, 0, file_size+1);
        
        // Read the entire file into the buffer.
        file.seekg(0, ios::beg);
        file.read(file_buf, file_size);

        if(file)
        {
            fileData.append(file_buf);
        }
        else

            fileData.append(file_buf);
            return false;
        }
        file.close();
        delete []file_buf;
    }
    else

    else

    }
    
    cout << "size: " <<  data.size() << "\n";
    cout << "length: " <<  data.length() << "\n";
    cout << "capacity: " <<  data.capacity() << "\n";
    cout << "max_size: " <<  data.max_size() << "\n";

    getchar();
