Without checking your code (!), I don't think there is a neat way to do
this until HepMC 2.5.0, which should actually provide a way to use
standard C++ streams. In that case, our IO wrapper can directly query
the istream about its state. Anything else is likely to be heuristic and
hacky (like I say, I haven't looked at your code, but I'm guessing from
your comment that it's not 100% convincing!)
