Size of binary file? [C++]

Hi! I'm trying to find the size of a binary file. I've Googled around, and I constantly seem to be coming up with answers that are very similar to the code I have now; ifstream CurrentFile(Filename, ios::out | ios::in| ios::binary); CurrentFile.seekg(ios::ate); ifstream::pos_type size = CurrentFile.tellg(); char *MemBlock = new char[size]; CurrentFile.seekg(0, ios::beg); CurrentFile.read(MemBlock, size); Is this correct? Somehow, I don't think it is, because my program is always giving me an allocation error when I'm trying to initialize the MemBlock array. By the way, what does ATE stand for?
