+
+ * All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a
+ 80x performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system
+ it was closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no
+ email address available>.
+
+ The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers',
+ executed whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait
+ for the disk to complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that
+ obstacle. This opens another problem, [file size] reports back
+ wrong numbers. So for [file size] we add the call back in. As
+ optimization we keep track of the channels which were written to
+ and flush only these.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to
+ 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and
+ related commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl
+ has recently written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the
+ correct size even for files with pending data, but Win*
+ syssystem don't. They only report what is actually on disk.
+
+ * win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of
+ 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels', making it available to other parts
+ of the tcl core.
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal,
+ procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and
+ forces the OS to flush its file buffers for all which were
+ written to since the last call of this function. This is an
+ expensive operation as Tcl has to wait for the OS to complete
+ actual writes to the disk.
+
+ (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above.
+
+ (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the
+ dirty flag instead. This means that the previously incurred
+ delays do not happen anymore.
+
+ (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag.
