I am about to make the transition from using standard FILE pointers from some older code to using C++ streams but I need to have LARGEFILE seeking support (the compiler flags that activate this support are: *-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64* et al) which I am able to obtain by using the *off64_t* datatype.

My original question was answered regarding this subject matter and the C API, and now I am hoping to be able to transition towards using C++ streams.

Do the same flags trigger seeking ability on file streams in C++?
