[PATCH] Brown paper bag fix for MinGW 64-bit stat

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When overriding the identifier "stat" so that "struct stat" will be
substituted with "struct _stati64" everywhere, I tried to fix the calls
to the _function_ stat(), too, but I forgot to change the earlier
attempt "stat64" to "_stati64" there.

So, the stat() calls were overridden by calls to _stati64() instead.

Unfortunately, there is a function _stati64() so that I missed that
calls to stat() were not actually overridden by calls to mingw_lstat(),
but t4200-rerere.sh showed the error.

	Aaargh.

	I am very, very sorry.

	Actually, it was quite funny that t4200 displayed the bug; I 
	_guess_ it was due to a time zone issue, as the times were exactly 
	one hour off (and the machine I tested on is at UTC+0100 right now).

	And due to that bug, "rerere gc" would not collect the garbage.

	So even if the C runtime provides a _stati64() function that 
	pretends to work, it does not, and this patch is absolutely necessary.

	Now, if only the tests would not take ages to run on Windows...  
	then I would not be tempted to skip them when sending the next patches.
