Here's still another problem, I'm not sure if you have noticed that:
When (elements_fit_in_base(fa)) or data_size <= FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_BYTES_LEFT
part_0 = (struct flex_array_part *)&fa->parts[0]
otherwise,
part_0 = fa->parts[0].
That means when the new out streams' size is greater than
FLEX_ARRAY_BASE_BYTES_LEFT, resize is not that easy to just set
fa->total_nr_elements. We have to do something like what flex_array_alloc
does, and the old elements memory will have to be lost.
With that, this issue won't be fixed.
After checking the flex_array code, I think flex_array is not yet working
for dynamical resize, which is not its goal either.
