Linux sucks differently every time a kernel is released. ROTFL, very nice!
Doesn't look so hard at first sight at least. I'm working on other stuff right now, so all I've time for is talk a little bit ;-).
Humpf... I've just added a 'path::status cached_status;' to any_path, with an additional which returns that or gets the status.
The problem now is, that this routine needs to *write* the status into any_path.cached_status, requiring that the any_path in question is not const, but writable. That breaks a whole lot of any_path & const xy routines. And I'm unsure if its good to remove all those consts.
Another way to do it would be, implementing all that caching inside the platform dependent 'get_path_status'. But on second thought, this isn't that simple as well, because we don't know about the lifetime of the underlying any_path class there.
Ideas? Regards Markus
