#ifdef DESCRIPTION

*************************** DESCRIPTION ***********************************

The class is specific to hc, and is designed to prevent the creation of
temporary files by using global memory instead. Writing to the file will
copy the data to memory until the total amount of data exceeds a reasonable
size, at which point a temporary file will be created and all data from
that point on will be written to the temporary file. Since the compiler
tends to generate oodles of small temporary files, this should reduce or
eliminate the actual number of temporary files.
