Is it possible to read and write to the same text file with both a C++ application and a java application at the same time without writing conflicting lines / characters to it ? I have tested with two java applications for now, and it seems like it’s possible to write to the file from one process even if the other process has opened the stream, but not closed it. Are there any way to lock the file so that the other process needs to wait ?
I think yes, for example boost::interprocess http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/interprocess.html file locks http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/interprocess/synchronization_mechanisms.html#interprocess.synchronization_mechanisms.file_lock
