Hello Jussi,

Thanks for reporting this. I think it is a good idea.

This does not protect against cases where you use full path for one file and relative for another or symbolic links but those kind of file name screw-ups are probably harder to do by accident.

Using the check_identical function already used to verify that input and output files are not the same may provide some extra protection if both files already exist. (See main.cc, lines 186-192).


Best regards,
Antonio.
