commit f1229891d
Author: Andrew Schwartzmeyer <[email protected]>
Date: Wed Nov 1 12:30:33 2017 -0700
Windows: Added internal `get_handle_follow` which follows symlinks.
This is the opposite of `get_handle_no_follow`. They both use the
inappropriately named Windows API `CreateFile` to retrieve a `HANDLE` to
an existing file or directory. This existing `get_handle_no_follow`
explicitly gets a handle to the symlink itself, and the new
`get_handle_follow` explicitly resolves symlinks and gets a handle to
the target.
This may fail if the target doesn't exist.

> `os::realpath` semantics differ between Windows and POSIX

> `os::realpath` on Unix should error out if the path does not exist. On
> Windows, the implementation is backed by `_fullpath`, which does not error
> out if the path does not exist. In general, we'd like the semantics to be as
> similar as possible across the two.
