unless there are major issues
I'm not sure what counts as major, but I guess most of the issues I raised for Boost.Iostreams probably aren't (given the lack of replies to my previous mail: http://tinyurl.com/mah8f)? IMHO the significant performance problem I reported then for streams on Seekable Indirect Devices *is* a big issue. Is anyone else interested in this issue (or any of the others) and/or reviewing my patch (it maybe too simplistic to cover all use-cases)? FWIW, in a real world test case, using * stream<file_descriptor> (from 1.33.1) resulted in total read bytes of ~250 MB * std::fstream resulted in total read bytes of ~8 MB * patched indirect_streambuf resulted in total read byte of ~8 MB Thanks, Gareth ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).

The problem seems to be that the author of iostreams has vanished and the library is orphaned. (Apologies to Jonathan if this is not the case but I haven't read anything from him recently.) So nobody probably cares about iostreams anymore. IIRC, there are a number of bug fixes on 1.33.1 which are still not merged to HEAD. I merged some of them on my own to get it compile on Tru64/CXX again but left it at that. So we need to decide what to do with the remaining merges, and what will happen to iostreams in the future, if Jonathan doesn't show up again. Markus
