/* Note currently for glibc (2.3.5) the following call does not change
the buffer size, and more problematically does not give any indication
that the new size request was ignored:
setvbuf (stdout, (char*)NULL, _IOFBF, 8192);
The ISO C99 standard section 7.19.5.6 on the setvbuf function says:
... If buf is not a null pointer, the array it points to _may_ be used
instead of a buffer allocated by the setvbuf function and the argument
size specifies the size of the array; otherwise, size _may_ determine
the size of a buffer allocated by the setvbuf function. ...
Obviously some interpret the above to mean setvbuf(....,size)
is only a hint from the application which I don't agree with.
FreeBSD's libc seems more sensible in this regard. From the man page:
The size argument may be given as zero to obtain deferred optimal-size
buffer allocation as usual. If it is not zero, then except for
unbuffered files, the buf argument should point to a buffer at least size
bytes long; this buffer will be used instead of the current buffer. (If
the size argument is not zero but buf is NULL, a buffer of the given size
will be allocated immediately, and released on close. This is an extension
to ANSI C; portable code should use a size of 0 with any NULL buffer.)
--------------------
Another issue is that on glibc-2.7 the following doesn't buffer
the first write if it's greater than 1 byte.
setvbuf(stdout,buf,_IOFBF,127);
Now the POSIX standard says that "allocating a buffer of size bytes does
not necessarily imply that all of size bytes are used for the buffer area".
However I think it's just a buggy implementation due to the various
inconsistencies with write sizes and subsequent writes. */
