I have no problem with Adam joining. As far as the network library, do we want to increase our dependency on the C FILE* structure/api? I would not want that. I don't know a lot of network solutions that put a socket fd inside a FILE *, there's probably good reason for that.
As long as there's a non-buffered solution that allows socket-like functions accessible, I'm cool with File wrapping a socket. That is, there should be a way to create a socket with the API that doesn't use File. I hope we will eventually get a D-only solution for File. Good news is, any future improvements to File automatically translate to what Adam is working on. -Steve ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andrei Alexandrescu <[email protected]> > To: Discuss the phobos library for D <[email protected]> > Sent: Sun, March 28, 2010 7:21:20 PM > Subject: [phobos] Fwd: [Issue 4025] New: Making network with the > std.stdio.File interface > > I'm quite hopeful about this development.
