Constructs new file stream.
1) Default constructor: constructs a stream that is not associated with a file: default-constructs the std::basic_filebuf and constructs the base with the pointer to this default-constructed std::basic_filebuf member.
2-3) First, performs the same steps as the default constructor, then associates the stream with a file by calling rdbuf()->open(filename, mode | std::ios_base::in) (see std::basic_filebuf::open for the details on the effects of that call). If the open() call returns a null pointer, sets setstate(failbit). Overload (3) is only provided if std::filesystem::path::value_type is not char. (since C++17)
4-5) Same as basic_ifstream(filename.c_str(), mode). 
6) Move constructor. First, move-constructs the base class from 
other (which does not affect the rdbuf() pointer), then move-constructs the std::basic_filebuf member, then calls this->set_rdbuf() to install the new basic_filebuf as the rdbuf() pointer in the base class.7) The copy-constructor is deleted: this class is not copyable.
[edit] Parameters
| filename | - | the name of the file to be opened | ||||||||||||||
| mode | - | specifies stream open mode. It is bitmask type, the following constants are defined: 
 | ||||||||||||||
| other | - | another file stream to use as source | 
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <fstream> #include <utility> #include <string> int main() { std::ifstream f0; std::ifstream f1("test.bin", std::ios::binary); std::string name = "example.txt"; std::ifstream f2(name); std::ifstream f3(std::move(f1)); }
