But if I want a fast, disk-based database, I'll use sqlite - which does a lot more for me - not go straight to the filesystem.
Or, something like Redis, because it is fast, established, and most importantly is cluster-ready. (*)
This is like comparing SQLite to Oracle. They have totally different use cases.
Even beyond that again, AFIO is not a database. It's a set of primitives from which one can build file system applications which could include a database.
What other applications are likely to use AFIO? (In the sense that it will make the application distinctly faster, more useful or easier to maintain than if existing C++ file system functions were used.) Darren
