Why don't any programming language load the default libraries like stdio.h
, iostream.h
or using System
so that there declaration is avoided?
As these namespace/libraries are required in any program, why the compilers expect it to be declared by the user.
Do any programs exist without using namespace/headers? even if yes, whats wrong in loading a harmless default libraries?
I don't mean that .. I am lazy to write a line of code but it makes less sense (as per me) for a compiler to cry for declaration of so called default thingummies ending up in a compilation error.
It's because there are programs which are written without the standard libraries. For example, there are plenty of C programs running on embedded systems that don't provide stdio.h
, since it doesn't make any sense on those platforms (in C, such environments are referred to as "freestanding", as opposed to the more usual "hosted").
