Bug ID: 71320 Summary: filesystem::permissions does not respect add_perms/remove_perms Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: eric at efcs dot ca Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 38585 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=38585&action=edit reproducer.cpp filesystem::permissions ignores add_perms and remove_perms, instead always setting the file permissions to the specified value. For example: permissions(file, perms::owner_all); assert(status(file).permissions() == perms::owner_all); // works // Add some additional permissions permissions(file, perms::group_all | perms::add_perms); assert(status(file).permissions() == (perms::owner_all | perms::group_all)); // FIRES assert(status(file).permissions() == perms::group_all); // Doesn't fire
