True, but if a file is removed and another added, st_nlink won't change.
Which will lead to even harder to find bugs.
I agree it would be better if it were always possible to detect
directory modifications, without any false negatives. Sadly it is not
(blame POSIX, I guess, although Windows is not better here), hence
invalidate_caches(). |
