I would like also to know the situation in C. (I mean
declaration of printf and scanf. Are they implemented in glibc or
gcc?)
In glibc.
Unlike pascal?
Yes and no. In both Pascal and C, the internal functionality of the
read/write (scan/print) code is in the run time library. However
a) in Pascal, the compiler parses the types that you pass to the read/
write code and directly calls the appropriate helper routines
b) in C, the types are specified in the format string and the run time
library itself determines the actual types at run time
So scanf/printf are more complex than the Pascal read/write routines.
FPC and Delphi nowadays also have printf/scanf-style routines though.
They are called format and scanf (part of the sysutils unit).
