commit c208ecd540c02773b0d25246e0fbaadcd416600a Author: Corinna Vinschen <[email protected]> Date: Sat Jan 5 21:49:16 2019 +0100 Cygwin: fhandler_base::open: allow to reopen file from handle So far io_handle is NULL when calling fhandler_base::open to open or create a file. Add a check for io_handle to allow priming the fhandler with a HANDLE value so we can reopen a file from a HANDLE on file systems supporting it. This allows to open already deleted files for further action. This will be used by open("/proc/PID/fd/DESCRIPTOR") scenarios.
