No matter what error we got, if O_CREAT and O_EXCL were both given then we tried to create a file, so this message applies. > >> + else if ((oflag & O_RDWR) == O_RDWR) >> die_errno(_("could not open '%s' for reading and writing"), path); >> else if ((oflag & O_WRONLY) == O_WRONLY) >> die_errno(_("could not open '%s' for writing"), path); > > Since you are already changing this code, why not take the opportunity > to refactor it > and remove the " == FLAG" part of these conditionals which is > otherwise redundant? The repetition is unsightly, but it's a different issue that should be addressed separately. Simply removing the comparison feels iffy, though. POSIX doesn't seem to forbid e.g. O_RDONLY to be 1, O_WRONLY to be 2 and O_RDWR to be 3, and then you need to check all masked bits. I can't think of simpler alternative to the comparison. > Either way "Reviewed-by", and indeed a nice cleanup. Thank you! René
