Subject: Remote dirs in fhandler_disk_file::fstat()?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi there,

I have been reading cygwin code trying to understand it better, hoping
to contribute to it later.  Pretty cool treasure trove of Windows code
I must say.  I have a question on fhandler_disk_file.cc (rev 1.9).  In
fhandler_disk_file::fstat(), line 114 onwards there is this code:

  else if (pc->exists ())
    {
      /* Unfortunately, the above open may fail if the file exists, though.
         So we have to care for this case here, too. */
      WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;
      HANDLE handle;
      buf->st_nlink = 1;
      if (pc->isdir () && pc->isremote ())
        buf->st_nlink = num_entries (pc->get_win32 ());

Should that be `... && ! pc->isremote ())'?  At least the code above,
various ChangeLog and cvs log messages and the message from Corinna
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2000-03/msg00091.html)
suggest so.  If so, I'll be happy to whip up a patch.

(I do not yet have a suitable cygwin development environment, so I can't
test code changes myself. I am hoping to set this up in the next couple
of months so I can step through the code in gdb to understand it better.
Hence apologies for this somewhat academic question.)
