Iostream stry is safe. I have worked on a lot of projects having a lot
of bug in printf like functions on site. I prefer the compiler give me these kind of errors for safety purposes.
Its not about what you and i prefer. Its all about what is the prevailing standard. Popular techniques are developed over many years. Printf is a popular technique that C++ libraries should continue to support. No reason to abandon it.
I'm not quite sure I understand the issue here. In what way does boost not "support" printf ? Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
