fundamentals of good SW design, the reason is that the libs slowly evolved from something rather simple and are maintained in a evolutionary manner with very few "big bangs". We do not have 100 paid people working full-time on this, after all...
i think that my proposal will allow better utilizing of our small developers base. or, saying in other words, developing a lot of small libs will increase a percentage of code reuse instead of copying or reinventing it the current i/o implementation in base is an example of this complexity. you need to become an expert just to understand what should be changed in order to add support of unicode filanmes, large files or anything else. the result is that these things remain unchanged for many years -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
