    Pure wrapper functions/classes don't serve much purpose unless they do something extra compared to just calling the API functions directly since
    we're all capable of spending 5 mins putting fork() (or similar) into a class which is preferable to having a dependency on someones hobby library.

    Such kind of opinion has been around since 2005, so, it seems to be like=

    Why 2005? Similar comments were probably said about many libraries going back to the birth of software libraries.

    olcott's motto "Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a tar= >get=20
    no one else can see."
    But, I mean the opposite, it is too obvious (like 0.999!=3D1, infinitesaml = >exists
    in real number,...) for 'educated' people to see it. You have to try it to = >know
    (and compare it with c++ std library). Or, try build such kind of library b= >y
    your own to understand.

    Trying to make out you're some kind of genius when you receive some mild criticism really doesn't do you any favours and just makes you sound like an arrogant ass.


    libwy does not support stream I/O (may be considered a defect), but it cont= >ains=20
    a class RdBuf which handles 'stream' better than any library I know of.

    Which begs the question of how many libraries do you know of.

    For now, it seems I am more open to criticism than you are.
    What can I get from your criticism?
    I explained that your criticism has been around for 20 years, sth I missed? >What is your criticism exactly?

    Go back and read what I wrote. If you have a problem understanding it use google translate.

    Ok, at least in 3 C++ books, the authors use 'wrapper' library.
    More that 2 'wrapper' libraries in sourceforge are 'retired'.

    Oh well, I tried.
