I see. Does this flush the underlying file (in a writer from
xmlNewTextWriterFilename(), for example?

Certainly. I've included a simple example below. After running it, the
file flushed.xml is (on my system) empty, while the file destroyed.xml
contains the full document. I get the same behavior when using
tree-building writers.
(BTW: In order to get some progress, I've now written a small tree
builder myself, based on my event system, without using writers, so
there's no real urgency for me anymore -- mainly curiosity.)

system("cp output.xml flushed.xml");
xmlFreeTextWriter(writer);
system("cp output.xml destroyed.xml");
