int main()

I have installed Boost as in this question: How to use Boost in Visual Studio 2010 ?
And I get error on the boost::iostreams::copy(in, cout) statement.
I'm very new to Boost so I don't know if this code is right or wrong.
I think I did every thing what I should do, and I'm lost.
EDIT
I have checked this question: exceptions from boost::iostreams::copy() .
And I have changed my test code to know what error does I get.
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/iostreams/filtering_streambuf.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/copy.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/filter/bzip2.hpp>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::iostreams;
try {
ifstream file("hello.bz2", ios_base::in | ios_base::binary);
filtering_streambuf<input> in;
in.push(bzip2_decompressor());
in.push(file);
boost::iostreams::copy(in, cout);
}
catch(const bzip2_error& exception) {
int error = exception.error();
if(error == boost::iostreams::bzip2::data_error) {
// compressed data stream is corrupted
cout << "compressed data stream is corrupted";
}
else if(error == boost::iostreams::bzip2::data_error_magic)
{
// compressed data stream does not begin with the 'magic' sequence 'B' 'Z' 'h'
cout << "compressed data stream does not begin with the 'magic' sequence 'B' 'Z' 'h'";
}
else if(boost::iostreams::bzip2::config_error) {
// libbzip2 has been improperly configured for the current platform
cout << "libbzip2 has been improperly configured for the current platform";
}
}
}
It says I get boost::iostreams::bzip2::config_error.
Does this mean I installed bzip2 filter wrong???
Because I get some error what I used
b2 --toolset=msvc-10.0 -sBZIP2_SOURCE="C:\bzip2-1.0.6" --build-type=complete stage
I get:
C:\boost_1_54_0>b2 --toolset=msvc-10.0 -sBZIP2_SOURCE="C:\bzip2-1.0.6" --build-t
ype=complete stage

The error you are getting is actually misleading.
This is because:
if(boost::iostreams::bzip2::config_error)
...always evaluates to non-zero and gives you the wrong error message!
I don't have a Windows PC available to me, but I tested "your" code on a Mac (Boost installed using Homebrew), and got the same error.
libbzip2 has been improperly configured for the current platform
And so I fixed that up and added some error checking:
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/iostreams/filtering_streambuf.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/copy.hpp>
#include <boost/iostreams/filter/bzip2.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
using namespace boost::iostreams;
char filename[] = "gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2";
if (!boost::filesystem::exists(filename))
{
cout << "Can't find " << filename << ". Expect errors to follow! " << endl;
}
ifstream file(filename, ios_base::in | ios_base::binary);
filtering_streambuf<input> in;
in.push(bzip2_decompressor());
in.push(file);
try
{
boost::iostreams::copy(in, cout);
}
catch (const bzip2_error& exception)
{
cout << exception.what() << endl;
int error = exception.error();
if (error == bzip2::data_error)
{
cout << "compressed data stream is corrupted";
}
else if (error == bzip2::data_error_magic)
{
cout << "compressed data stream does not begin with the 'magic' sequence 'B' 'Z' 'h'";
}
else if (error == bzip2::config_error)
{
cout << "libbzip2 has been improperly configured for the current platform";
}
else
{
cout << "Error: " << error;
}
cout << endl;
}
}

Can't find gcc-4.7.2.tar.bz2. Expect errors to follow!
bzip2 error
Error: -7
Why -7? Because #define BZ_UNEXPECTED_EOF (-7). Boost calls this bzip2::unexpected_eof. You've unexpectedly hit the end of the stream!

There should be some compiler stuff in here
You need to check whether the file exists before attempting to decompress it.
