Issue ID: 14110
Summary: std.file.read cannot read files open for writing
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: Phobos
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
On Windows, std.file.read will fail to read files that are already open for
writing (usually by another process).
This is an issue when trying e.g. to read a log file that is still being
written.
Programs such as Notepad, Internet Explorer, Firefox all succeed in opening the
file, so D's behavior is unusual.
