This was brought to my attention by a unit test in CyberShadow/ae that was failing on macOS because it was storing a result of
timeLastModified
then using the stored value as an argument tosetTimes
and expecting that the next call totimeLastModified
would yield the same result as the stored value. The problem is that core.sys.posix.sys.stat does not haveutimensat
for macOS, which is because it only became available in macOS starting from version 10.13 which was released in 2017. As an alternativesetattrlist
can be used with any version of macOS to set timestamps with the same precision asutimensat
.
