Hello,
There are a number of issues related to D's current handling of streams,
including the existence of the imperfect etc.stream and the
over-specialization of std.stdio.
Steve has worked on an extensive overhaul of std.stdio which would
obviate the need for etc.stream and would improve both the generality
and efficiency of std.stdio.
Please chime in with feedback; he's away from the Usenet but allowed me
to post this on his behalf. I uploaded the docs to
http://erdani.com/d/new-stdio/phobos-prerelease/std_stdio.html
Thanks,
Andrei
I think that openFile, File.open and CStream.open should shouldn't take
a string as the mode, it should be an enum or similar. Andrei is making
a big deal out of using enums instead of bools. A bool value can contain
"true" or "false", a string can contain an infinite number of different
values.
