FullBufferImpl and PagedFileImpl both open the file and then use the handle
without ever testing it:
auto stream = _wfopen(fn_wide, L"rb"); // null when the file is missing
fseek(stream, 0, SEEK_END); // null goes straight to the CRT
buf_.resize((size_t)ftell(stream));
Opening a path that does not exist therefore hands a null FILE* to the CRT. On
MSVC that does not return an error: the runtime terminates the process
immediately (fastfail, exit code 0xC0000409). No exception is thrown, no stack
unwinding starts, so a caller cannot defend with try/catch — the host
application simply dies. On glibc it is undefined behaviour as well.
This is reachable through the ordinary entry point, because guess_file_type()
answers FT_IFCSPF for a path that does not exist (its own comment calls this
"just weird, but for consistency with earlier behaviour"), so a missing path
flows into the reader rather than being reported.
The fix is to leave the reader empty when the open fails. Both implementations
then behave like a zero-length file: size() is 0 and get() throws out_of_range
for any position, so the parse fails and IfcFile::good() reports it, which is
what a caller can actually handle. PagedFileImpl's destructor already tested
fp_ for null, so the possibility was known — only the constructor did not check.
Verified by reading a non-existent path through IfcParse::IfcFile: the
constructor returns and good() reports the failure, where before the process
died with 0xC0000409 and no output.
