Hi,
I'm trying to get tokyo cabinet running. I have a strange error. One
of the test utilities does:
#define TCFILEMODE 00644 // permission of a creating file
int fd = path ? open(path, O_RDONLY, TCFILEMODE) : 0; // path = "Makefile"
and then fstats:
if(fstat(fd, &sbuf) == -1) {...}
else {
if (!S_ISREG(sbuf.st_mode)){
printf("is dir %d\n", S_ISDIR(sbuf.st_mode)); // added for debugging
...etc...
}}
What's weird is that fstat says ./Makefile is of type S_ISCHR . I
tried the same code in a test program and could not reproduce it. I
suppose this is a permissions/security thingee, but then again why
would it falsely report that a regular file is a character special
file? (The fd is 3) Looking at the Windows security settings I can't
see where the problem is.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
gregg
