Load binary file using fstream

Question

I\'m trying to load binary file using fstream in the following way:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include         


        

Answer 1

A different way to do the same as Alexey Malistov's answer:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

struct rint // this class will allow us to read binary
{
  // ctors & assignment op allows implicit construction from uint
  rint () {}
  rint (unsigned int v) : val(v) {}
  rint (rint const& r) : val(r.val) {}
  rint& operator= (rint const& r) { this->val = r.val; return *this; }
  rint& operator= (unsigned int r) { this->val = r; return *this; }

  unsigned int val;

  // implicit conversion to uint from rint
  operator unsigned int& ()
  {
    return this->val;
  }
  operator unsigned int const& () const
  {
    return this->val;
  }
};

// reads a uints worth of chars into an rint
std::istream& operator>> (std::istream& is, rint& li)
{
  is.read(reinterpret_cast(&li.val), 4);
  return is;
}

// writes a uints worth of chars out of an rint
std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& os, rint const& li)
{
  os.write(reinterpret_cast(&li.val), 4);
  return os;
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  std::vector V;

  // make sure the file is opened binary & the istream-iterator is
  // instantiated with rint; then use the usual copy semantics
  std::ifstream file(argv[1], std::ios::binary | std::ios::in);
  std::istream_iterator iter(file), end;
  std::copy(iter, end, std::back_inserter(V));

  for (int i = 0; i < V.size(); ++i)
    std::cout << std::hex << "0x" << V[i] << std::endl;

  // this will reverse the binary file at the uint level (on x86 with
  // g++ this is 32-bits at a time)
  std::ofstream of(argv[2], std::ios::binary | std::ios::out);
  std::ostream_iterator oter(of);
  std::copy(V.rbegin(), V.rend(), oter);

  return 0;
}
