std::ifstream::readsome和std::ifstream::read的区别

std::ifstream::readsome的原型如下，可以返回实际读到的字节数量，但是不会把eofbit置1，所以不能直接调用eof判断是否到文件尾

streamsize readsome (char* s, streamsize n);

std::ifstream::read原型如下，会置eof, 但没法直接得到实际读取字节数

istream& read (char* s, streamsize n);

如果既需要能获得读取字节数，又需要能判断是否读到文件尾，可有如下两种方法：

1. 使用std::ifstream::readsome

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

streamsize Read(istream &stream, char *buffer, streamsize count)
{
    // This consistently fails on gcc (linux) 4.8.1 with failbit set on read
    // failure. This apparently never fails on VS2010 and VS2013 (Windows 7)
    streamsize reads = stream.rdbuf()->sgetn(buffer, count);

    // This rarely sets failbit on VS2010 and VS2013 (Windows 7) on read
    // failure of the previous sgetn()
    stream.rdstate();

    // On gcc (linux) 4.8.1 and VS2010/VS2013 (Windows 7) this consistently
    // sets eofbit when stream is EOF for the conseguences  of sgetn(). It
    // should also throw if exceptions are set, or return on the contrary,
    // and previous rdstate() restored a failbit on Windows. On Windows most
    // of the times it sets eofbit even on real read failure
    stream.peek();

    return reads;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    ifstream instream("filepath", ios_base::in | ios_base::binary);
    while (!instream.eof())
    {
        char buffer[0x4000];
        size_t read = Read(instream, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
        // Do something with buffer 
    }
}

2. 使用std::ifstream::read后，使用gcount()获得上一次读取的字节数

ifstream ifs("a.txt");
char buf[1024];
ifs.read(buf, 1024);
size_t extracted = ifs.gcount();

// or

ifstream ifs("a.txt");
char buf[1024];
size_t extracted = ifs.read(buf, 1024).gcount();
