How does Code:Blocks Manipulate Files
« on: October 06, 2011, 01:41:36 am »
Forgive me if this is a simple question, how does Code:Blocks handle files which are actually a hard link to another file. The question that I have does Code:Blocks manipulate the links or do they leave them alone

Thanks

Dave

It depends on the type of link: If it's a hard link, the actual file is being modified as for (any) application the link is transparent. Under Windows, for *.lnk files the file would be handled as "binary file".

Thank you for your quick reply. I thought it would be that way but I wanted confirm because we are using files that linked and wanted to be sure because this issue has cuasewd problems in the past  :)
