Re: AIX I/O failures


The reference approach has a performance cost that the array-of-chars
appraoch does not.

You now penalize every reference to cout, in that the linker cannot
resolve the address statically.  In other words, when you say:

  cout.write (...)

the code will look like:

  reg1 := address of reference to cout
  reg2 := *reg1
  write (reg2)

instead of:

  reg1 := address of cout
  write (reg1)

Right?
