Summary: Binary/Text IO in C++ under Wine Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: wine-msvcrt AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: nmnnotmyname@gmail.com
In C++ Input, Wine appears to act weird when reading a binary file as a text file. In both Windows and Cedega, this condition does not exist. Since i am in contact with the developer of the program that had this bug, I was able to have him fix it. Actual code is given here:
ifstream fin(file.c_str(), ios::in | ios::binary); # this works for binary files in wine, windows and Cedega ifstream fin(file.c_str()); # this works for binary files in windows and Cedega
The first thing i thought of was in MSVCRT, but i don't know whether or not wine implements that or it uses the real thing, or by default it uses its own version. However, I can not trace the actual cause :( I've tried, and i have the source. Maybe I'm missing it. After all, all i did was a quick scan through.
I'd also like to note that I believe this is likely an bug by Microsoft: Perhaps this is because Windows does not make an actual correlation between binary and text files. I don't really know.
As a final note: I don't know how well Wine handles 64-bit computers (whether it uses assembly to glue 64-bit wine libraries to 32-bit executables or doesn't support 64-bit windows/wine libraries and programs or whatever) but i will note once more this is a 64-Bit computer with 64-bit Sabayon(Modified Gentoo) (But i did update wine by hand to get the latest version)
