I'm getting an error trying to compile the following code using VC++ 5.0.

  #include <fstream>

  void main()
  {
    std::ofstream out_stream;

    // openmode enum is not reachable here.
    out_stream.open("test.txt", std::ios::noreplace);

    ...

    out_stream.close();
  }

The error is:

  error C2039: 'noreplace' : is not a member of
  'basic_ios<char,struct std::char_traits<char>>'

I can't explain this error since 'noreplace' is part of the openmode enum
in the ios class not basic_ios. What do I have to do to get this to compile?

It looks as if these are your only options:

std::ios::app
std::ios::ate
std::ios::binary
std::ios::in
std::ios::out
std::ios::trunc
