file lock in MinGW

Hello All,

I'm trying to lock a file under windows, using MinGW, I'm using the
same code I use under Linux, but it keeps giving me errors like

aggregate `flock fl' has incomplete type and cannot be defined
`F_SETLK' undeclared (first use this function
`fcntl' undeclared (first use this function

does any one have any idea,
I'm using MinGW gcc 3.2.3

thankx for your time

My guess is that you're missing a header (probably fcntl.h), but since
flock and fcntl aren't part of Standard C++ per ISO/IEC 14882:2003,
you're better off asking in a g++ newsgroup, such as gnu.g++.help.

Note that I've cross-posted the response there, and set follow-ups there
as well.

Has anyone succeeded in making a usable def file from python23.lib so that which can be used to compile extensions with mingw32? I have tried pexports (0.43 and 0.42h) and impdef which have both failed stating that the file is the wrong type. I have generated a manual .def file using nm and sed but then I still get unresolved symbols (of the _imp__XXXXXX variety) when I try to compile an extension.

I'm writing an app that basically just appends text to a text file on a Win2K Server. They fill out a form, click a button, and 1 line is appended to the file. Multiple people will run this app at the same time, and all will write to the same file. If I do an immediate flush() on the file after writing the line, is there still a risk that 2 simultaneous writes will collide? If so, what's the best way to handle this type of file write? ...

Hi, I have noticed that every aspx page that I created (and ascx file) has an assosiated resource file aspx.resx. However what I would like to do is have a single global resource file for the site. The resources in this global resource file will possibly change quite often, there I guess this rules out using web.config as every time web.config alters the application is recompiled, also I am not sure of the possible consequences of...

Hi all I understand that I can't hope to pass a FILE* from the Windows version of Python into a SWIG module that I've built using MinGW gcc/g+ +, because apparently the FILE* structure are different and incompatible. Is there an official workaround for this? Presumably I need to implement a mingw-compatible version of all the 'file' class in Python, eg

Hello Recently I discovered some problem. I have some C code which determines how many bytes are available in a file. Later I use this information to malloc a buffer of the correct size before I read the bytes. Determining the number of bytes available in a file is done in 5 steps: 1. Use tell(aFile) to get the current position.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
