Research direction

The issue identifies default constructors for ifstream and ofstream as the affected behavior, but does not name their implementation or tests. First check whether pull request #579 has merged, as requested, then trace how those constructors are translated and locate relevant tests. Done means both default constructors no longer panic because they use an invalid empty path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

fn t1() -> ::std::fs::File { ::std::fs::File::open("").unwrap() }   // std::ifstream
fn t2() -> ::std::fs::File { ::std::fs::File::open("").unwrap() }   // std::ofstream

"" is not a valid path so unwrap panics.

Wait for https://github.com/Cpp2Rust/cpp2rust/pull/579 to be merged first
