Erik Sandberg <sandb...@virtutech.com> added the comment: An alternative solution which I would have considered, is to extend stat/fstat on Windows to set st_dev and st_ino to sensible values (based on dwVolumeSerialNumber and nFileIndexLow/High), and then use the POSIX implementations of samefile/sameopenfile.
There may be one potential problem with this solution though: It would require stat to perform a CreateFile in addition to GetFileAttributesEx, and I don't know if there are situations where one is allowed to call the latter but not the former on a file. There would be no such problems with fstat, though. In your patch, I think the dwShareMode parameter to CreateFile* should be changed to FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE so make the operation less intrusive. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5985> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
