Stability of GNAT.Directory_Operations

Stability of GNAT.Directory_Operations

[Maciej Sobczak]

Hi,

Is it possible to delete a file (in terms of Ada.Direct_IO.Delete, for
example) in the middle of a directory iteration done with
GNAT.Directory_Operations.Read?

The case in question is deleting a file that has been already visited
by GNAT.Directory_Operations.Read, but deleting a file before it is
visited is also an interesting scenario.

The GNAT.Directory_Operations specification file does not document it.

I don't know the exact answer to this question, but note that it is not 
different from the file being deleted by external means (i.e. outside 
the Ada program) during iteration - something that can happen at any time.
