Hi all,
I got a question wrt to gcc and cygwin. I'm not sure if this is the defined behaviour, but for some reason, the following code fails. This is a test program which display the failure. Running cygwin on windows 2000. Compiling with mingw (no-cygwin option) Basically, after creat...close... the file is set to read only (check attributes under windows). This causes the second to fail. On the second run of the program, the creat fails as well. Any idea why the file is being set to read only? Thanks, Yamin ******************************************************** #include <io.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> int main() { int handle; handle= creat("hello.txt", O_WRONLY); if (handle == -1) { printf("Unable to creat file hello.txt\r\n"); } write(handle, "Hello\r\n",7); close(handle); handle= open("hello.txt", O_RDWR|O_BINARY); if (handle == -1) { printf("Unable to open file hello.txt\r\n"); } write(handle, "urdum\r\n",7); close(handle); } ************************************************** ---------------------------------------- This mail sent through www.mywaterloo.ca -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
