Sorry, this isn't a "Windows feature" but
POSIX compatible and a workaround would be
extremly simple, because Chad Fowler made
a simple mistake: he forgotten to call
closedir() before rmdir():
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
/* (1) */
#include <sys/dirent.h>
int main(void)
{
int rc;
extern int errno;
/* (2) */
DIR* pDIR;
rc = mkdir("_blah", 0777);
printf("mkdir %d\n", rc);
pDIR = opendir("_blah");
printf("opendir %d\n", ( long ) pDIR);
/* (3) */
rc = closedir( pDIR );
printf("closedir %d\n", rc);
rc = rmdir("_blah");
printf("rmdir %d\n", rc);
rc = mkdir("_blah", 0777);
printf("mkdir %d\n", rc);
printf("errno: %d\n", errno);
}
#if 0
Cygwin output:
mkdir 0
opendir 167839600
closedir 0
rmdir 0
mkdir 0
errno: 0
Linux output:
mkdir 0
opendir 134518696
rmdir 0
mkdir 0
errno: 38
#endif
