Im writing a vector of size three and when i read i get a vector of size 4 with the last index being a duplicate of the index 2.
Heres my code.
void IOManager::WriteBin(const string &filename, vector<userRank> highScorers, int rank) {
ofstream fsalida(filename, ios::out | ios::binary);
if (fsalida.is_open())
{
for (int i = 0; i < highScorers.size();i++) {
fsalida.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&highScorers[i]), sizeof(highScorers[i]));
}
//highScorers.size() is 3
fsalida.close();
}else cout << "Unable to open file for writing\n";
}
vector<userRank> IOManager::ReadBin(const string &filename) {
ifstream fentrada(filename, ios::in | ios::binary);
if (fentrada.is_open())
{
vector<userRank>bestPlayers;
for (int i = 0; fentrada.good(); i++) {
userRank tempUser;
fentrada.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&tempUser), sizeof(tempUser));
bestPlayers.push_back(tempUser);
}
//bestPlayers.size() is 4!!!!!! Im losing my mind
fentrada.close();
return bestPlayers;
}
else cout << "Unable to open file for reading\n";
}
Here's my UserRank struct
struct userRank
{
char userName [5];
int score;
};
A wild userRank apperars for some reason, does anybody know why?
I suggest reorganizing the read function:
Search the internet for "stackoverflow c++ why eof in while is bad".
