>Description:
filebuf::sputc is more than 10% slower than putc with these tests:

time ./stdio
10.97user 1.60system 0:12.79elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (23major+9minor)pagefaults 0swaps

****** speed.hh ******
#ifndef SPEED_HH_INCLUDED
#define SPEED_HH_INCLUDED

const int iterations = 100000000;

#endif

****** stdio.cc ******
#include <cstdio>
#include "speed.hh"

int main()
{
	using namespace std;

	FILE* file = fopen("tmp", "w+");
	for (int i = 0; i < iterations; ++i)
	{
		putc(i % 100, file);
	}
	fclose(file);
	return 0;
}

****** iostreams.cc ******
#include <fstream>
#include "speed.hh"

int main()
{
	using namespace std;

	filebuf buf;
	buf.open("tmp", ios_base::out | ios_base::in | ios_base::trunc);
	for (int i = 0; i < iterations; ++i)
	{
		buf.sputc(i % 100);
	}
	buf.close();
	return 0;
}

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
This speed difference disappears if streambuf::sputc is inlined and all the cruft deleted so it looks like:

int_type sputc(char_type c)
{
  if (pptr() < epptr())
    {
      *pptr() = c;
      pbump(1);
      return traits_type::to_int_type(c);
    }
  else
    return overflow(traits_type::to_int_type(c));
}
