Hello,
I have this innocent piece of code:
namespace fs = boost::filesystem; auto path = getFilename(); // returns a string fs::create_directories(fs::path(path).parent_path()); std::ofstream ofs(path + "~"); ofs << info; ofs.close(); fs::rename(path + "~", path);
which causes the exception:
boost::filesystem::rename: No such file or directory: "../9f/061b4f7a5e529c964659226eedd4e5~", "../9f/061b4f7a5e529c964659226eedd4e5"
However, I have no idea how that could happen. I use the rename, so that a reading process never sees an empty file, but only no file or filed with info. Is there any race involved between ofs.close() and fs:rename()? The code was executed on a distributed network filesystem (lustre).
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks, Florian
