[Dev-C++] file modification time

[Bhuvaneswaran A <bh...@sy...>]

Hi,

I am using winxp & dev cpp 4.9.8. I have an application, say 'A' to
write binary data to a file continuously. I have another application,
say 'B' to read data from that file. Application B uses the file
attributes (ctime & mtime) to read a portion of that file.

The problem here is, the file size is increasing, but mtime is always
set to ctime + 2 seconds, till, either we terminate the application or
close that file. The problem exists either when we browse the attributes
of the file through windows explorer or from application 'B'.

Why is the mtime of the file not changing ? Should i have to use any
other option while writing data to that file ? Please help.

I have googled for details, but couldn't find a solution.
