Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

Final fixes


Repository: kcoreaddons


Description
-------

Mac OS X doesn't have `posix_fallocate()` but as written in the comments, this function can be emulated (at least for simple use with `offset=0`).

This patch introduces such an emulation, based on `mozilla::fallocation()`. There's so little of that function left that it may be overkill to maintain its original copyright statement but I'll leave that to the legalese experts.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  src/lib/caching/kshareddatacache_p.h 9fd0bb1 
  src/lib/caching/posix_fallocate_mac.h PRE-CREATION 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/129267/diff/


Testing
-------

Works as intended on OS X 10.9.5 as far as I can tell; original file contents were not overwritten in my testing.

The autotest succeeds (with an additional debug statement left out of the patch):

```
