Not me. What I remember is that Nathan Myers explained that C stdio, at least traditionally worked exactly like that, and since Nathan *designed* parts of the first C++ Standard itself, actively participated to all the meetings which led to C++98, I trusted him by and large and found the new design straightforward and well performing in most of out benchmarks. I still believe he was quite right. Anyway, when you post something to the mailing list, remember to add him in CC. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45628
