Sockets and filebuf with msvc 2003

[Manfred Eckschlager]

Hi,

In Linux C++ there was an easy way to build a stream form a socket
like:

int sockFd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);

filebuf *netBuf = new filebuf( sockFd );
-and then
iostream *netStream = new iostream(filebuf);

But the new stream headers in VC.net 2003 dont support attach(int fd)
and filebuf(int) anymore.
Is there another short msvc like way to attach a stream to a socket?

thx, cheers
Manfred

No short way in standard C++. If you want an VC++ specific answer then ask
on a VC++ group.

You should write your own stream classes for this sort of thing. It's not
that difficult, 'The C++ Standard Library' by Josuttis explains how.

There is no standard way to do this, so it is off-topic for this
group; you should ask in an MSVC-specific newsgroup. (Hint,
std::filebuf::filebuf(FILE*))
