Discussion:
31.10.4.4 [ifstream.members] p1, 31.10.5.4 [ofstream.members] p1, 31.10.6.4 [fstream.members] p1 seems have same problem as exposed in LWG issue 252.
Proposed resolution:
[Sydney: Genuine defect. 27.8.1.13 needs a cast to cast away constness. The other two places are stylistic: we could change the C-style casts to const_cast. Post-Sydney: Howard provided wording. ]
Change 27.8.1.7/1 from:
Returns: (basic_filebuf<charT,traits>*)&sb.
to:
Returns: const_cast<basic_filebuf<charT,traits>*>(&sb).
Change 27.8.1.10/1 from:
Returns: (basic_filebuf<charT,traits>*)&sb.
to:
Returns: const_cast<basic_filebuf<charT,traits>*>(&sb).
Change 27.8.1.13/1 from:
Returns: &sb.
to:
Returns: const_cast<basic_filebuf<charT,traits>*>(&sb).
