Passing istream to a function

[GameFreak7744]

Hey, I'm trying to pass an open stream to a function so that data can
be read from it, so I that I don't have to keep opening and closing
streams all the time.

Anyway, the function definition is roughly this:

bool xCheckByteCode(istream & fsXSprite)


When I try to compile this, however, I get the following error message:

`istream' was not declared in this scope


What am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,

std::istream& ?

std::istream& ?

Unfortunately no, when I tried that it informed me that " `istream' is
not a member of `std' ".

Unfortunately no, when I tried that it informed me that " `istream' is
not a member of `std' ".

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

before your function

 

[Joey Sabey]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

before your function

That is included in the main file of my project, the one that then
includes the file containing this function.
Adding it to this file, also, causes this error: ' multiple definition
of `xCheckByteCode(std::istream&)' '

So you have an main.h where you do:

#include <iostream>
bool xCheckByteCode(std::istream & fsXSprite);

and then a main.cpp: with

#include "main.h"
using namespace std;

bool xCheckByteCode(std::istream & fsXSprite){
.............
}

Right ?

Not quite, as I have the #include in the .cpp, not the .h, etc. But I
have it working now.

Thanks for your time.

Did you do

#include <istream>

or

#include <iostream>
