any '--recursive' option has stopped working on
Windows. AFAICS, since the 'openat()' seems unsupported
on Windows (accessing '/proc/self/x' and other stuff).
Does it work if you add the modules 'fstatat' and 'openat' to bootstrap.conf?
These modules are supported on native Windows [1][2].
Off-course, otherwise diff.exe wouldn't have linked.
Would it?
I find that fstatat() + openat() on Windows works bad;
from 'man fstatat'
If pathname is absolute, then dirfd is ignored.
So in my test:
diff --recursive <rel-dir-1> <rel-dir-2>
does not work. But a:
diff --recursive <abs-dir-1> <abs-dir-2>
does work! What could be the cause of this?
Bruno, any GNUlib test for this case?
