Retrieving fstream filename?

[Randy Yates]

Is there any way to get the filename with which a stream was opened? I don't
see anything obvious in the stream API.

No there isn't.

No, you'll have to derive a class from fstream (slightly dangerous
since the "open" member isn't virtual), or create a class that holds
the filename and an fstream.
