-----------------------------------
Summary: Harden the OS-version-specific Windows code to be
resiliant to many platforms
Key: MESOS-4270
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4270
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Bug
Components: libprocess
Reporter: Alex Clemmer
Assignee: Alex Clemmer
A good example of a place when we try to compile on other versions of Windows
is the implementation of our symlink logic.
In order to tell whether a path points at a symlink on Windows, we have to
query the reparse point subsystem for information, and use an API from the
driver DK to decide whether it is a symlink.
Unfortunately, since we're not taking a dependency on the DDK here, we were
forced to copy the struct from the DDK that we need to query the reparse point
API for symlink data (a path well-work by Boost FS).
To make sure we don't break, we should possibly set the version info in
windows.hpp (see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff554695(v=vs.85).aspx)
and then static assert on that in the reparsepoint.hpp file.
This, of course, is just one example of a thing we'd want to be resilient to.
