How to get filesize in C++ using C++17's std::filesystem
Recent versions of C++ have a built-in cross-platform filesystem library which supports many useful operations such as getting the filesize.
#include <filesystem>
// Usage example:
std::filesystem::file_size("myfile.bin");
Full example:
#include <filesystem>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::uintmax_t filesize = std::filesystem::file_size("myfile.bin");
std::cout << "Filesize in bytes is " << filesize << std::endl;
return 0;
}
