#5520: IsWritable / IsReadable methods do not currently check Write/Read mode bits. -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ver | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Kits/Storage Kit | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: IsWritable IsReadable BFile Blockedby: | Platform: All Blocking: 5521 | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by anevilyak): Replying to [comment:4 ver]: > Why would you set a file mode to r-x if you never check the w? What is the point of IsWritable() otherwise? To tell me I passed THIS flag when I called my BFile constructor? :/ How does a different function call in another place in the program that may have to deal with many different BFile pointers know which flags a given one was opened with? It doesn't, hence those accessors. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5520#comment:5> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
