As I cited earlier in this thread, 7.19.8.2p2 says: "For each object,
size calls are made to the fputc function, taking the values (in order)
from an array of unsigned char exactly overlaying the object."

That sounds a lot like looping over calls to fputc() to me. If you
interpreted "looping fputc() - calls" to mean anything inconsistent with
what 7.19.8.2p2 says, then you've probably misunderstood his intent.

I think that defining his proposed fwwrite() function by the analogy of
fputc():fwrite() :: fputwc():fwwrite() is faulty, but not by reason of
there being no relationship between fputc() and fwrite(). I've failed to
come up with a convincing explanation of what I find objectionable about
it, which is why I've not responded to that message.
