Hi All,
The SQFile struct[1] has a field named fileSize, which is used to cache[2] the size of the file when such property makes sense. This caching behavior seems unnecessary, and it causes synchronization problems between multiple SQFile structures of a single file. The latter could be worked around by updating the cached value more often, but I was wondering why is the value cached at all. Does anyone know?
