[fpc-devel] Stream bug fixes & refactoring - multiple tickets & patches or one?

[Chad Berchek]

Hi all. This is my first message here.

I ran across some bugs working with TInputPipeStream. As I investigated 
further, I found more and more bugs in various stream classes throughout 
the RTL and FCL. I have fixed the ones I found and made some structural 
modifications to help prevent such errors from happening again. I can 
submit a patch. I also have code for test cases.

What I want to ask is: what is the best way to submit an issue to the 
bug tracker and submit the patch for review? Would it be better to 
create multiple tickets, one for each distinct bug, or just create one? 
As for the patch, it would be best if I could keep it as one, since many 
of the changes are interrelated and it wouldn't necessarily make sense 
to make one particular change associated with one specific bug. But I 
suppose I could also create one patch linked with multiple tickets. 
There are probably a dozen distinct bugs, but many overlap. Please 
advise me on how things are done here. Thanks.
