[llvm-dev] Can we do atomic write to a file by using raw_fd_ostream?

[Jie Zhou via llvm-dev]

Hi all,

In a pass I’m using raw_fd_ostream to write a string to a file. Does raw_fd_ostream guarantee
the write is atomic when I do parallel compilation (currently I’m using -j8)? I have some errs() to
print information for debugging purposes and I saw that the printed information gets messed up sometime.
If I’m writing a string with the format of “A:B:C”, is it possible that I got “A1:B2:C1” and “A2:B1:C2”
instead of the correct one “A1:B1:C1” and “A2:B2:C2”? And if this is possible, how can I do atomic write to a file?

Thanks,
- Jie
