Quoting [Hartmut Kaiser] (Aug 17 2009):
What should be the outcome of the following:
saga::url u ("file://localhost/etc/"); saga::file::entry e(u); if (e.get_type() == saga::object::File) cout << "e is an entry"; else if (e.get_type() == saga::object::Directory)) cout << "e is a directory";
? IOW, what's the type of the created object? I think in our implementation it will report to be a directory, actually.
But, the object type *is* entry, and actually that is also what our implementation reports: ------------------------------------------------------------ Jonas merzky ~/test : cat entry.cpp #include <saga/saga.hpp> int main () { saga::url u ("file://localhost/etc/"); saga::name_space::entry e (u); if ( e.get_type () == saga::object::File ) { std::cout << "e is an entry" << std::endl; } else if ( e.get_type () == saga::object::Directory ) { std::cout << "e is a directory" << std::endl; } return 0; } Jonas merzky ~/test : make entry make: `entry' is up to date. Jonas merzky ~/test : ./entry e is an entry ------------------------------------------------------------ Otherwise the entry c'tor would indeed create an c++ dir object - how could that work? Andre. -- Nothing is ever easy.
