Hi everyone.
I'm not sure why but the following code:
void CFile::initFile()
{
numRecords=0;
DataFile.open("GameData.dat", ios::in | ios::binary);
DataFile.seekg(0L,ios::beg);
DataFile.read((char *)&numRecords,sizeof(int));
DataFile.close();
if(!numRecords)
{
DataFile.open("GameData.dat", ios::out | ios::binary);
DataFile.clear();
DataFile.seekp(0L,ios::beg);
DataFile.write((char *) &numRecords,sizeof(int));
DataFile.close();
}
DataFile.open("GameData.dat",ios::in|ios::out|ios::binary);
};
Does not seem to create a GameData.dat file when it is called. This only happens when I am using CodeBlocks to compile and run the project. using MinGW g++ from the console with this : 'g++ main.cpp functions.cpp -o Game.exe' and then run Game.exe it creates the GameData file no problem. MSVC 6 also compiles and runs the Program which creates a GameData.dat file.
Apparently CodeBlocks is not configured properly or something? I am using CodeBlocks RC-1. I downloaded and setup MinGW 3.4.4 separtely and then had CodeBlocks auto detect it.
My operating system is Windows XP if that helps.
