// ace_ios_init
//
// There is reported to be a bug in the Dinkumware
// implementation of iostreams where calling
// basic_ios::init() multiple times for the same
// basic_ios instance creates a memory leak as a result
// of the ios' locale being allocated more than
// once, each time overwriting the old pointer.
//
// This usually happens in multiple inheritance
// schemes involving a derived IOS class and a
// derived IO stream class (i, o or io).
//
// The fix for Dinkumware is to not call init() in the
// derived IOS class but call init() only for each
// stream object - in the istream, ostream or
// iostream constructor.
//
// Other stream implementations, however, require that
// init() is called in the derived IOS constructor.
// So we replace each call to init() with the
// ace_ios_init macro defined below.
