A guy posted some test results based on some code like this...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

#define TEST_SZ 25000000
#define RD_BUFF_SZ 5000
int main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **env)
{
    FILE* fp;

    if(argc > 1) fp = fopen(argv[1], "r+");
    else fp =tmpfile();
    if(NULL != fp) {
        int j = -1;
        int o;
        while(1) {
            if(++j != TEST_SZ) {
                if (j == (TEST_SZ - RD_BUFF_SZ) ) o = ftello(fp);
                fwrite(&j, sizeof(int), 1, fp);
            } else {
                int i, buffer[RD_BUFF_SZ];
                fflush(fp);
                fseek(fp, o, SEEK_SET);
                fread(buffer, sizeof(int), sizeof(buffer), fp);
                printf("Validating end of file writes\n");
                for(i = (RD_BUFF_SZ - 1); i >= 0; i--) {
                    assert(buffer[i] == --j) ;
                }
                rewind(fp);
                j = -1;
            }
        }
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

That's not it exactly. o wasn't an int. Probably a long long by some other
name. I don't know what he's trying to do with the above, but I believe
the following has the same basic action...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main () {

int i, j, buffer[5000], isize, bufsize;

isize = sizeof(int);
bufsize = sizeof(buffer);

FILE * stream = tmpfile();

top:    j = -1;
        fflush(stream);
        fseek(stream, 0, SEEK_SET);
        fread(buffer, isize, bufsize, stream);
        printf("x            ");
        for(i = 4999; i >=0 ; i --) { assert(buffer[i] == --j) ; }
        rewind(stream);
goto top ;
}


which should be a bit easier to assess if I'm right about what it's doing.
There's probably still some stuff there that can go away, but I'm not
familiar with rewind() and friends.
