It is just slackness. The whole 'IO' system needs to be thought about. A generic Felix policy would be: (a) provide native file IO (unix fd, windows handles) (b) provide C level file IO (FILE*) (c) provides C++ level file IO (iostreams) (d) provide asynchronous native IO (e) provide a unifying streams concept of some kind The critical thing here is that whilst C++ streams look appealing .. they're actually useless, because the blocking operations cannot be control inverted. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
