You can't create an ifstream from a file descriptor or FILE pointer.
This feature has been removed because the C++ standard does not define it
since it is inherently system dependent and non-portable.
The only constructor ifstream provides is this
explicit ifstream ( const char * filename, openmode mode = in );
However, there is a GCC extension available you could use. Just have
a look at the ext/stdio_filebuf.h header.
Here is an example:
