The changes Giovanni mentions are what I was expecting in the first place :-) So I would also like to see such an arrangement. Perhaps I should go look at Giovanni's library even if it is only sync.
It is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libstream (the homepage is libstream.sf.net). The available download is old and will not compile on recent versions of gcc. You should download the cvs version. In the homepage, you will find an use example and a link to a paper describing the library. Unfortunately there is no other documentation available (i've never gotten around writing it). Some documentation can be generated with doxygen, but it is highly incomplete. If you want to take a look at some examples, look inside lib/stream/test. I've not updated the library recently, but in the next two months, i will probably do some changes (because of a project i need to finish that uses the lib). I will probably end up using boost::asio for the low level stuff. The biggest difference to asio is that i do not encourage developers to use the {read|write}_some functions (even though they are available), but instead i provide input and output iterators and buffered streams that can be used with my version of the standard algos. Many optimizations are not yet implemented though (like input and output iterators with multiple object-per-asignment support). Hope it is useful. PS: happy new year to everybody! --- Giovanni P.
