I don't know what type of object fpos_t is but from googling it I found this http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fpos_t/

fpos_t objects are usually created by a call to fgetpos, which returns a reference to an object of this type.

that could explain it

fpos_t is not meant to have a value explicitly assigned by you. It is intended to have the value set by the fgetpos function. Don't give it a value yourself - use fgetpos.
