Hi Joel, The other disadvantage of using mmap() is error handling. If you are doing a build while a include file is changing size (eg. someone is editing) then with mmap() you will either get a bus error signal or you'll see zero filled pages, which is very hard to handle gracefully (it is possible, its just very messy!).
If you use read() you get saner error handling. That's the main reason I switched rsync away from using mmap() quite a while ago. Cheers, Tridge _______________________________________________ ccache mailing list ccache@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ccache
