Simple glob in C++ on unix system?

I have that in my gist. I created a stl wrapper around glob so that it returns vector of string and take care of freeing glob result. Not exactly very efficient but this code is a little more readable and some would say easier to use.

#include <glob.h> // glob(), globfree()
#include <string.h> // memset()
#include <vector>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

std::vector<std::string> glob(const std::string& pattern) {
    using namespace std;

    // glob struct resides on the stack
    glob_t glob_result;
    memset(&glob_result, 0, sizeof(glob_result));

    // do the glob operation
    int return_value = glob(pattern.c_str(), GLOB_TILDE, NULL, &glob_result);
    if(return_value != 0) {
        globfree(&glob_result);
        stringstream ss;
        ss << "glob() failed with return_value " << return_value << endl;
        throw std::runtime_error(ss.str());
    }

    // collect all the filenames into a std::list<std::string>
    vector<string> filenames;
    for(size_t i = 0; i < glob_result.gl_pathc; ++i) {
        filenames.push_back(string(glob_result.gl_pathv[i]));
    }

    // cleanup
    globfree(&glob_result);

    // done
    return filenames;
}

I wrote a simple glob library for Windows & Linux (probably works on other *nixes as well) a while ago when I was bored, feel free to use it as you like.

Example usage:

#include <iostream>
#include "glob.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  glob::Glob glob(argv[1]);
  while (glob) {
    std::cout << glob.GetFileName() << std::endl;
    glob.Next();
  }
}
