<a name="ll_iostream"><tt>#include &lt;iostream&gt;</tt> is forbidden</a>
</div>
<div class="doc_text">
<p>The use of <tt>#include &lt;iostream&gt;</tt> in library files is
hereby <b><em>forbidden</em></b>. The primary reason for doing this is to
support clients using LLVM libraries as part of larger systems. In particular,
we statically link LLVM into some dynamic libraries. Even if LLVM isn't used,
the static c'tors are run whenever an application start up that uses the dynamic
library. There are two problems with this:</p>
<ol>
<li>The time to run the static c'tors impacts startup time of
applications&mdash;a critical time for gui apps.</li>
<li>The static c'tors cause the app to pull many extra pages of memory off the
disk: both the code for the static c'tors in each .o file and the small
amount of data that gets touched. In addition, touched/dirty pages put
more pressure on the VM system on low-memory machines.</li>
</ol>
