#1033: iostreams::restrict doesn't work on an iostreams::file_source
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Reporter: phil_at_[hidden] | Type: Bugs
   Status: new | Milestone: To Be Determined
Component: None | Version: release 1.34.0
 Severity: Problem | Keywords: iostreams
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 I ran into a problem when using restrict on a file_source. The problem was
 that it decided that the stream wasn't seekable and called the version of
 skip that reads a character at a time until it gets to the requested
 offset, instead of just calling seek.

 The code was similar to this:


 {{{
 namespace io = boost::iostreams;

 std::string filename;
 io::filtering_istream rstr(io::restrict(io::file_source(filename), 10,
 100));
 }}}

 I've attached a patch that solved my problem. It was checking to see if
 the device was seekable (which means both input_seekable and
 output_seekable), but since it was an input device, it was just
 input_seekable.
