Linux buffer writer doesn't appear to explicitly flush

           Summary: Linux buffer writer doesn't appear to explicitly flush
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.3.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: sadelson@lads.is.lmco.com


We are using Xerces to read and write the same file from disk.  Rapid accesses
appear to cause crashes in the reader, leading us to suspect that the file is
not completely written to disk before we read it again.

I have added "fsync(fileno((FILE*)theFile))" before the return calls in
util/Platforms/Linux/LinuxPlatformUtils.cpp/XMLPlatformUtils::writeBufferToFile(),
which seems to solve the problem.  If you agree that this is a general and
acceptable solution, you may wish to add it to the distribution for all platforms.
