Redefining stdio as: #define stdin (__stdio(0)) #define stdout (__stdio(1)) #define stderr (__stdio(2)) And then defining an __stdio() function that returns a pointer to a struct FILE, would let you change the underlying implementation however you wanted, later, without disrupting newly compiled programs. This may not be entirely happy for static declarations: FILE *fp = stdin; /* default */ ...but that's a compiler problem (I think). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
