..but a better choice nonetheless. I know that the MS Windows CE runtime is seriously castrated, so having just one central place for workarounds is surely beneficial. I'll adjust the patch, unless I introduce a new dependency on Ecore. > I suppose it's not really that big of a deal... No it isn't. If you wanted to do it 100% correct, you could only use open() and then handle errors from that, but getting sensible errors out of that is much harder. Further, the race condition can't be exploited for anything since nothing is written. Cheers!
