Will the code work? |
yes and no, depending on what you expect. Well, I didn't try, but in theory, the OS should refuse to delete an open file, and so remove() should fail. But you don't even check for that error condition, you ignore the result of remove().

Yes. At the time you tried to delete the file, it was open. So the delete action was refused, and the file remains intact.

That's interesting. As I said: In theory, ...
And you know: Only in theory, theory and practise are exactly the same. ;-)
