Yes, for sure... And also some problems could happen when mixing stdio
and iostream code because of separated buffering, for example:

    printf (" Something")
    cout << " strange";
    printf (" happened");                <= here stdout is flushed
    cout << " with the string";

could produce:

      Something happened strange with the string

I don't know if it is regulated by C++ standard, but some compilers
make code with "special effects" described above...
