The `no_follow` behavior happened to allow opening a file descriptor of a symlink itself on Windows, but that behavior may change in the future. Instead, we implement the opening of the symlink as a file descriptor manually (and per-platform) in the test case.
ctime is last file status/metadata change, not creation time. Note that this mistake was not made in the `File.metadata`/`File.Metadata` implementation, which allows getting the actual creation time.
Closes#18290
Requires an extra NtQueryInformationFile call when FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT is set to determine if it's actually a symlink or some other kind of reparse point (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/reparse-point-tags). This is something that `File.Metadata.kind` was already doing, so the same technique is used in `stat`.
Also, replace the std.os.windows.DeviceIoControl call in `metadata` with NtQueryInformationFile (NtQueryInformationFile is what gets called during kernel32.GetFileInformationByHandleEx with FileAttributeTagInfo, verified using NtTrace).
The old implementation had a bug in it in that it didn't quote empty strings, but it also didn't properly follow the special quoting rules required for the first argument (the executable name). This new implementation serializes the argv correctly such that it can be parsed by the `CommandLineToArgvW` algorithm.
This adds `ArgIteratorWindows`, which faithfully replicates the quoting and escaping behavior observed in `CommandLineToArgvW` and should make Zig applications play better with processes that abuse these quirks.
This way people can use `const` with a `std.EnumMap`
and be able to `getPtrAssertContains(...)` like the
would with a mutable `var` instance.
Aligns with the existing `getPtr(...)`/`getPtrConst(...)`
methods.
previously when T was smaller than 8 bits, it was possible for base
to overflow T (because base is a u8). this patch prevents this by
accumulating into a U rather than T which is at least 8 bits wide.
this is the best way i could think of to maintain performance. this
will only affect parsing of integers less than 8 bits by adding one
additional cast at return. additionally, this patch may be slightly
slower to return an error for integers less than 8 bits which overflow
because it will accumulate a few more digits before the overflow check
at return.
* add tests which previously overflowed when they shouldn't have
closes#18157
* std.debug: optimized printLineFromFileAnyOs
Uses mem.indexOfScalar to speed line iteration instead of byte for byte.
Also prints the whole line in a single write (or up to a page size at a
time)
Closes#18099
* add test cases for printLineFromFileAnyOs
reads on eg. connected TCP sockets can fail with ETIMEDOUT, and ENOTCONN
happens eg. if you try to read a TCP socket that has not been connected
yet.
interestingly read() was already handling CONNRESET & TIMEDOUT, but
readv(), pread(), and preadv() were somewhat inconsistent.
This duplicates the source file string (as is done in other places such
as `addAssemblyFile()`) in order to prevent a segfault when the supplied
string is freed by the caller. This is still seen when the caller makes
use of a defer statement.
