My understanding is that cstdio basically is the same as stdio.h except
the functions are in a namspace called std. However when I take a look
at the content of the file cstdio, it has the following lines inside
only:
-------content of cstdio on red hat linux enterprise 3----
#ifndef __CSTDIO__
#define __CSTDIO__
#include <stdio.h>
#endif
---------------------------------------
I did not see anywhere or how these functions are defined in namespace
std, looks like it merely include c language 's stdio.h. Can anyone
give me an explanation why on linux (maybe on other boxes too) I did
not see why cstdio's functions are defined in std namespace?
This question should probably be directed to a GCC support list.
I have gcc v 4.1.1 on fedora and cstdio looks nothing like that.
