All files in the<base>/ include directory on my OS X machine are mode
644, as they should be.
Are you sure that what you're seeing isn't just the way that you've
got your UMASK environment variable set?

All,
It appears that, both on Unix and Windows, the header files have their
permissions set to writeable after being installed into the include
directories. When I am in the IDE working away I sometimes
inadvertently
double click on a compiler error message and end up
auto-opening-for-editing, and eventually modifying, an installed
include
file. It can definitely be very confusing if one modifies the
installed
include file, and not the source for the installed include file. I
try to
keep my guard up against this issue, but seem to keep repeating the
same
mistake.
So, given this perspective and some others, it appears to be
sensible for
all include files to have their permissions set to un-writable when
they are
installed, but maybe there is some practical issue that prevents
this from
being standard behavior that I don’t see?
Your thoughts?
Jeff
