------- Comment #21 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-12-01 22:07 ------- Reply to comment #18, Thomas, A particular reason I do not recall. Have you tested without it? It seems from the description of the alloc scheme in the comments we should only have to free the stream (sfree). Did you get my off-list email. This question ties into my general concern about understanding the internals here and does it really do what we think it ought to.
Regarding comment #19, Jack, I would run my tests on the 4.0 branch and see what we get, but we did not have "stream" access implemented then. Maybe I modify the tests and see what we get since fd_seek is used by all access methods. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33985
