async_std::fs::File
currently has a bug that makes EOF a permanent condition:once the
File
has encountered EOF, it will continue to return EOF even if newdata gets added to the file.
Discovered when trying to convert some code from
smol
toasync_std
. Thecode depends on having multiple
File
objects referring to the same disk file,appending to one, and expecting the other to be able to read the new data.
Fix the
File
implementation to address this, and add a test to verify this behavior.
