I see, VC has it's own way of doing things, thank you for advice. One
more question, where can I have reference to standard library?

In my Windows 7 this code doesn't work:

It seems to me that std::wifstream does not accept wchar_t as a value
type, but only const char*, contrary to to what is explained in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3b5w4311.aspx
That is describing the MS library, it's not the standard.
Where did I go wrong? or, is this a bug?
No, the standard says that basic_fstream always takes narrow character
strings to specify the filename, even if the stream itself uses wide
characters.
