They don't, at least not in my test. For all six loops of a given file
this code gives the same output:


#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
        struct stat st;
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
        {
                if (stat( argv[1], &st ) != 0)
                        return 1;
                printf( "%s #%d atime = %d\n", argv[1], i, 
st.st_atimespec.tv_sec );
                sleep( 10 );
        }

        NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
        NSString *file = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:argv[1]];

        for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
        {
                if (stat( [file fileSystemRepresentation], &st ) != 0)
                        return 1;
                printf( "%s #%d atime = %d\n", argv[1], i, 
st.st_atimespec.tv_sec );
                sleep( 10 );
        }

        [pool drain];

        return 0;
}

I was testing the Obj-C version just in case fileSystemRepresentation
was in some odd way changing the atime.

I think something else in your code is going wrong. Are you asking
Launch Services for an icon or anything like that?
