Discussion:
According to paragraph 8 of this section, the methods
basic_streambuf::pubseekpos(),
basic_ifstream::open(), and basic_ofstream::open
"may" be overloaded by a version of this function taking the
type ios_base::open_mode as last argument argument instead of
ios_base::openmode (ios_base::open_mode is defined
in this section to be an alias for one of the integral types). The
clause specifies, that the last argument has a default argument in
three cases. However, this generates an ambiguity with the overloaded
version because now the arguments are absolutely identical if the last
argument is not specified.
Proposed resolution:
In 99 [depr.ios.members] paragraph 8, remove the default arguments for
basic_streambuf::pubseekpos(),
basic_ifstream::open(), and
basic_ofstream::open().
