Hello all, I have a question about the _stream variable of the OutputStream class(base/output.hh, base/output.cc)
I had a question about the variable definition. std::ostream *const _stream; Why do we use std::ostream vs std::ofstream? The reason I am asking is because I cannot seem to find close method for std::ostream while for std::ofstream there is a close method. Let us look at the following example of a stream in BaseCPU In src/cpu/base.cc functionTraceStream = simout.findOrCreate(fname)->stream(); In src/cpu/base.hh std::ostream *functionTraceStream; I cannot find any code in src/cpu/base.cc which closes the stream. Is there a reason for this? I would have expected to see a call to something like this somewhere in src/cpu/base.cc: void OutputDirectory::close(OutputStream *file) Right now I am using this close method for the streams I am creating. In this case, I need to make sure I capture the OutputStream pointer in order to use the OutputDirectory::close method. Thus I do something like: OutputStream *testStreamContainer = simout.findOrCreate(fname); std::ostream *testStream = testStreamContainer->stream(); .... simout.close(testStreamContainer); I assume this should close the stream correctly? Does anyone have any comments or have they done something similar?
