[Qt-interest] QFile::rename safety

[Israel Brewster]

How "safe" is QFile::rename? Is there a situation under which, if it fails, the file/directory in question could end up being deleted? I've always been taught never to move, instead to copy, verify that the copy succeeded, then delete the old one. In my particular usage case, though, I'm not actually moving the file, just changing the same, so should that be safe enough, given how rename works? Thanks.
