I don't know. I was asking Corinna this question.

I was asking her if this would work. Since she knows about automode.o,
et al, I assume that she had a reason for not using it.

automode.o, binmode.o, and textmode.o all affect low-level I/O, the
same way that mounting directories or files affect low-level I/O.
There is no "C" or "C++" component.
Can I suggest that you could just be writing simple test cases to
figure this kind of thing out? The best teacher is experience.
