[Mono-dev] Too many open files when adding many embedded resources

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,

Building Mono 2.9 from git master, we're encountering an issue where an
> assembly with lots of embedded resources (approx 4000), where gmcs is
> throwing "Too many open files exception".
>
> The culprit seems to be that a new file handle is opened for every embedded
> resource when it's added. Mono 2.6 doesn't have this problem, so it appears
> to be a regression

The comment on the Save method says:

// According to MSDN docs, the stream is read during assembly save, not
earlier

So perhaps we need to change the compiler to load the assemblies in memory
after a certain number of resources have been loaded.
