--- Comment #45 from Albert Astals Cid <aa...@kde.org> --- This is what the old posix says (or at least i remember/understood from my university years): "Once you have a file descriptor from a file open, the file can disappear, change, whatever, you will still read the contents of the file as if it was when you opened the file descriptor". But either that has changed or i misunderstood it, because that is not what happens, see https://i.imgur.com/DaSS7Ad.gif where i change a file after having opened it, and the read after having changed the file gives me the changed contents and not the original ones. If you want the code it's http://paste.debian.net/1157802/ Note if I change it with vi instead of kate, "it works", i.e. gives me the old contents instead of the new, but the fact that "it can fail", means we can't trust it to do A nor B. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
