Determine files modified by process

I'm writing a program to be run from the Linux user space which spawns another process. How can it determine which files were modified by the spawned process after it completes?

Maybe g++ itself spawns other processes? Than "strace -fF -efile program" plus some filtering will probably help you.

Call it under strace and parse the output you care about.

Inject your own replacement for fopen(3) that records the names and modes.
