For a school assignment I have to implement a project in C++ using Borland C++ Builder.
As the VCL uses AnsiString for all GUI Components I have to convert all of my std::strings to AnsiString for the sake of displaying.
std::string inp = "Hello world!";
AnsiString outp(inp.c_str());
works of course but is a bit tedious to write and code duplication I want to avoid. As we use Boost in other contexts I decided to provide some helper functions go get boost::lexical_cast to work with AnsiString. Here is my implementation so far:
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& istr, AnsiString& str) {
istr.exceptions(std::ios::badbit | std::ios::failbit | std::ios::eofbit);
std::string s;
std::getline(istr,s);
str = AnsiString(s.c_str());
return istr;
}
In the beginning I got Access Violation after Access Violation but since I added the .exceptions() stuff the picture gets clearer.
When the conversion is performed I get the following Exception:
ios_base::eofbit set [Runtime Error/std::ios_base::failure]
Does anyone have an idea how to fix it and can explain why the error occurs? My C++ experience is very limited.
The conversion routine the other way round would be:
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& ostr,const AnsiString& str) {
ostr << (str.c_str());
return ostr;
}
Maybe someone will spot an error here too :)
With best regards!
Edit:
At the moment I'm using the edited version of Jem, it works in the beginning. After a while of using the programm the Borland Codeguard mentions some pointer arithmetic in already freed regions. Any ideas how this could be related?

Thanks for your help :)
