I'm trying to pick good names for the fundamental iostreams components streambuf_facade and stream_facade:
template<typename Device ... > class streambuf_facade : public basic_streambuf< > { // Peform i/o using an instance of Device };
template<typename Device ... > class stream_facade : public basic_[i][o]stream< > { // Peform i/o using an instance of Device };
Here are the candidates:
1. streambuf_facade / stream_facade 2. generic_streambuf / generic_stream 3. streambuf / stream 4. xstreambuf / xstream
I don't like any of those. I don't think they tell much about what they name. OTOH, I may lack some background. I don't even understand what rationale for such a name as xstreambuf/xstream is :-(
5. device_streambuf / device_stream 6. devbuf / devstream
These both are much better, IMO. Being a minimalist, I would probably prefer number 6. Regards, Arkadiy
