I have just noticed about a library SFIO for a safe and fast IO processing in C. But it is not very up to date. The last version of library is released in 2005 2012 and I couldn’t assess that if the claimed benefits of SFIO over STDIO are still valid with comparison to the recent releases of standard IO library. Also Would it be reasonable to use this library in a production code?
I would prefer using standard stuffs instead of relying on a lib that is not maintained or developed anymore. Do tests however to know if your code really benefits from its usage. If it is not hard, develop your code with switches definible at compile time to use
sfioor the standard approach, so that you can switch to one or another according to needs and if you noticesfiois giving problems.
