...not to mention that on 32-bit standard C FILE*s are 32-bit and do weird things when you get over the 2GB mark. IMHO this is by far the biggest problem with them. Any mature I/O API must not be subject to such arbitrary limitations provided that the underlying platform isn't subject to them.<br>

</div>Will the new std.process use C stdio?<br>
<br>
I think dependency to FILE* should be minimized, as C stdio has several<br>
issues (wide oriented streams, poor bidirectional buffering, etc...).<br>
IMHO using FILE* just for the sake of buffering is not a very good idea.<br>
