Hello,
In the RTEMS project we have some test code that appears to fail on
FreeBSD. You can find a stripped down version at
http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems/people/chrisj/fstimes/truncate-time-test.c
The code does ..
fd = open (file01, O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, mode);
n = write (fd, databuf, len);
assert (n == len);
status = close (fd);
assert (status == 0);
sleep(2);
status = truncate (file01, len);
assert (status == 0);
The length does not change and given the file does not change our
interpretation of the truncate call is the times should not change.
In the case of ..
fd = open (file03, O_CREAT | O_WRONLY, mode);
status = close (fd);
assert (status == 0);
sleep(2);
fd = open (file03, O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY, mode);
status = close (fd);
assert (status == 0);
the times do change as expected.
