Yes, but because it was an issue, even now decades later a lot of compilers still use file IO instead of just reading a file in one go even when you gain benefits (e.g. no "ungetting" or building a token buffer - just keep the index of the start and end). I'm guilty of that myself. It was an inspired choice, and about 30 years on it's still underutilized, on machines that typically have 3-4 orders of magnitude more RAM. |
