Hi,
I've noticed that the output files from templates, which use the
'extract' Autogen Scheme function, are set to writable. Looking at the
'loadExtractData' function in agen5/expExtract.c, I can see that this
appears to be deliberate:
if (! HAVE_OPT( WRITABLE ))
SET_OPT_WRITABLE;
I am having trouble understanding why this is desirable. I read the
documentation for the 'extract' function, as well as the comments in its
implementation, and nothing really stands out as a reason. Even if the
output files are not going to be kept around long-term, as in the case
of the example code mentioned in the documentation, they should still be
able to get forcefully renamed or removed. Hence, it should be safe to
leave them read-only by default.
Any insights?
Thanks,
Eric
