so the answer to my query on the Austin Group mailing list is that the
way ive interpreted the standard is the correct interpretation ...
POSIX conforming systems must:
- update st_mtime when opened with O_TRUNC regardless of the size of
the file before hand
- make sure st_ctime/st_mtime are properly available at the next
relevant point in time (like when calling stat() or fstat())
i'll look into getting a test added to the POSIX testsuite
and i've been informed that a test already exists that should match
the behavior i'm describing: POSIX.os/files/open 19
i'm testing 10.4.x and not 10.5 (which is the version that was
certified), so perhaps 10.5 has already been fixed ?
