Ya, stdio.h is just a header. However, as of glib reference, I expected that its the usual reference to the set of c-libraries available under /usr/lib/* . Please re-confirm me, if its not.

Its a fact that gcc/g++ is capable of attaching stdio.h headers, by default -if not specified and is no longer a requirement for a source code to explicitly add it. I, however, thought that its a feature implemented only under gcc and didn't know that its now a standard proposed.

Thanks.
