Pointers to wifstream

[personak]

I'm handling pointers, and can't access some member functions:

class Class {
     void readFromFile(wifstream* file) {
          // this works...
          wstring name;
          *file >> name;
          
          // this doesn't...
          while (*file.good()) {
               // stuff happens...
          }
     }

int main() {
     wifstream file("text.txt", ios::in);
     Class instance;
     instance.readFromFile(&file);
     return 0;
}

either do like this:

(*file).good()

or like this

file->good()
