State-Changed-Why:
Definitely, not a bug. Current libstdc++ strictly conforms
to the ISO standard, and 27.8.1.3,2 says the in|out is
equivalent to C library "r+", that is file _must_ exist.
Thanks for your report.

linux 2.4.18-3 (RedHat 7.3) on 686
>Description:
If one wants to open a file for random access (in/out)
so that the compiler automatically createst the file
when the file doesn't exist, one would do
fstream s("test.txt",ios::in |ios::out);
This will fail if fstream when the file doesn't exist.
It didn't fail with previous compilers (pre 3.x series).
>How-To-Repeat:
given the file test.cpp below
===================
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
fstream s("test.txt",ios::in | ios::out);
if(!s.is_open()) cout << "bug!"<<endl;
return 0;
}
===============
do
g++ -o a.out test.cpp -O2
followed by
./a.out
make sure test.txt doesn't exist and you'll
get
bug!
>Fix:
Revert back to gcc 2.96 or else
FileStream->open( FileName, std::ios::in | std::ios::out);
if(! FileStream->is_open()) {
FileStream->clear();
FileStream->open( FileName, std::ios::in | std::ios::out| std::ios::trunc);
}
since the trunc (truncate) apparently allows you to
create a file if none is present.
The code above is obviously very ugly.
