As I already mentioned in other postings, I would use boost threads instead of pthreads to make the library more portable and boost compliant.
What concerns I/O, the library needs: 1) large file (>2GB) support (e.g. FAT32 does not support large files) 2) avoidance of superfluios buffering (like in std::fstream)
std::fstream f; f.rdbuf()->setbuf(0,0); What's wrong with doing that? (apart from the fact it underflows for every character.) jon
