["Khimenko Victor" <khim@sch57.msk.ru>] libc/1496: fmemopen is gone in glibc 2.x

[Andreas Jaeger <aj at suse dot de>]

We've received the appended bug report.  fmemopen is a function only
available in libio but not in stdio.

Is anybody interested in writing fmemopen for stdio?  Or is this an
obsolete function?

Andreas

P.S. Khimenko: Using stdio instead of libio is no option on Linux.

>Description:
        Function fmemopen is described in libc.info but not actually available
        It's available with stdio library but not with libio library :-((
        open_memstream() exists in libio but it's not always enough :-/
>How-To-Repeat:
        Grab sample program from glibc's info documentation about fmemopen
        and try to compile it :-)
>Fix:
        Use of GNU stdio instead of GNU libio ... Perhaps change in
        documentation can be called "fix" as well but it does not look like a
        good fix to me ...
