c++ - 为什么 istream_iterator(ifstream ("test.txt")) 会导致错误？

Question

我尝试编写代码从名为“test.txt”的文件中读取字符串并将字符串写入标准输出。下面的代码运行良好:

 int main()
 {
     using namespace std;
     ifstream file("test.txt");
     copy(istream_iterator<string>(file), 
          istream_iterator<string>(), 
          ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " ")); 
 }

但是，通过此修改，代码不再编译:

   int main()
   {
        using namespace std;
        copy(istream_iterator<string>(ifstream("test.txt")),  // <-- Error here
        istream_iterator<string>(), 
        ostream_iterator<string>(cout, " "));   
   }

为什么这个版本不能编译？

我用的编译器是g++4.6.2，报错如下:

Answer 1

这里(我相信)有两个错误:

(1) 你需要在test.txt两边加上引号:

istream_iterator<string>(ifstream("test.txt"), ... );

(2) istream_iterator 的构造函数接收一个istream&(即对流的左值引用)。因此，您传入的流必须是左值。但是，传入 ifstream("test.txt") 会传入一个类型为 ifstream 的临时对象，它是一个 rvalue 而不是 < em>左值。这与您不能这样做的原因相同:

int function(int& x) {
    x++;
}
int main() {
    function(137); // Error - 137 is an rvalue, but lvalue is needed.
}

希望这对您有所帮助!
