Good day, only a short announcement: Sorry for the very long delay :-( But I'm working on this again. The biggest issue seems to be the *at stuff. I'll try to workaround this via getting the directories' path from the file descriptor with the /proc (as it is already done in the 9pfs_utils) - luckily,the mingw environment emulates the /proc. If this doesn't work I've another idea (the file descriptors needs to be "registered" with the path (and saved in a sparse vector or map with the fd as key and the path as value). The "big" solution would be to write a 9p_local_windows.c from scratch, but I would like to avoid it.
Additionally, I changed my approach: Instead of one big patch with everything in it, I split it into 2 patch series with several patches: * The first one only fixes the build via adding #ifdefs, creating stubs in os-win32.h etc. and introduces no regressions. Status: Ready in my local repo: It compiles fine with enabled 9pfs and works. If 9pfs is tried to use there is a clean error message that the fsdev couldn't be initialized - as expected. * The second one actually get 9pfs working. This involves mostly implementing the *at functions and a few tiny things (O_BINARY and so on) Status: Not started yet (will be at the next weekend I hope), but is a combination of parts of the the old patch + the implementation of the *at functions. My hope is that the first series could be merged independently from the second. Meanings? If so I'll clean up the first patch series a bit (History cleaning) and send it to the list. Best regards, Michael Fritscher
