stream_set_write_buffer() does not work View as Markdown

Ah, I understand the status of this issue (that will do for me), and I agree w/
every point you mentioned.

I am aware of this issue, however, reverting leaves us at the mercy of
problems on solaris.

I do plan to implement a write buffer, however, introducing that into
the 4.3.x branch is probably a bad idea at this late stage.

While I don't think that stream_set_write_buffer()/set_file_buffer()
having no effect is such a bad thing (most php scripts don't have any
need to call this function), I am concerned about the overall
performance of writes in the absence of a user-space write buffer.

So I'm looking into a solution at the moment; there is no need to update
the documentation at this point.

Hello,

I noticed that stream_set_write_buffer() is no more available on local files
because of the change made on 2003/03/18 to main/streams.c (1.125.2.41 ->
1.125.2.42: use a file descriptor instead of a file pointer).

As a result of this change, of course stream_set_write_buffer() and
set_file_buffer() does not work anymore in most of the cases because user-level
I/O buffer functions like setvbuf() does not work on file descriptors, though
I'm not sure if this is the "probelm" or not.

If this is an intentional result, fixing documents (== add note like "stream_set
_write_buffer does not work on local files, bla bla bla" and fix a sample code)
will do, but if not, maybe we should implement php-level I/O buffer or revert
this change (I'm not sure reverting this change makes another problem,
though:)
