Re: [boost] ASIO into the standard (was: Re: C++ committee meeting report)

There is also a strong argument that anything in ASIO which isn't async needs to go.

Honestly, I think that the sync io could actually pave the way for replacing the iostreams mess. I have actually used file io built on top of asio's sync stream concepts. It actually works very nicely. I was actually able to read directly from files using `boost::asio::read`. The only thing missing was a Seekable concept for streams that can seek and report their position, which is important for implementing buffering. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/C-committee-meeting-report-tp4664412p4664...
