Suggestion to optionally avoid a dependency on iostreams





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-06-16 11:54 -------
Scott Meyer argued that iostream should be used in favor of standard io functions 
mainly for type safety. But he also admitted that it may make sense to "fall back on 
the tried and true", for instance since stdio often is (quite a lot) faster than 
iostreams.

In this particular case, type safety is hardly an issue. And if this continues to be 
the only dependency on the standard C++ library in Xerces, it is an unneccesary waste 
of run-time resources to leave it in, for no gain. However, David Bertoni said that 
support for iostreams could be added to the library in a future version, and if that 
happens, this patch wouldn't make much sense.
