apr_file_lock on WIN32 - possible bug ?
Hi,
My understanding of apr_file_lock() says that a second lock for the
same process will not suspend.
I opened a new file on WIN32 with the following:
apr_file_open(fd,APR_FOPEN_BINARY|APR_FOPENREAD|APR_FOPEN_WRITE|APR_FOPEN_APPEND|APR_FOPEN_CREATE,APR_OS_DEFAULT,pool);
Next I locked it with apr_file_lock(fd,APR_FLOCK_EXCLUSIVE);
An attempt to write to the file with
apr_file_write_full(fd,ptr,len,&written); suspended.
Looking in the apr code for file_write_full, it also grabs an exclusive
lock.
A quick test with 2 successive calls to
apr_file_lock(fd,APR_FLOCK_EXCLUSIVE) shows the same behaviour, the
second lock suspends.
Have I misunderstood something or is there a bug here ?
Thanks,
Greg.
