------- Comment #1 from green at redhat dot com 2006-01-17 03:59 ------- I discovered why we open all jar files twice. It happens in gnu/java/net/protocol/jar/Connection.java.
While searching jar files, we call gnu.java.net.protocol.jar.Connection.getJarFile(). The first thing this does is call gnu.java.net.protocol.jar.Connection.connect(). This, in turn, calls jarFileURLConnection.connect(). jarFileURLConnection is a gnu.java.net.protocol.file.Connection (if we have a file URL). This opens the file. Then gnu.java.net.protocol.jar.Connection.getJarFile() continues. This special-cases local files, and we end up calling new JarFile([filename]). This opens the jar file for the second time. And that's how we end up with two open file descriptors for every jar file we process. We should probably figure out a way to avoid doing this. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25398
