Subject: fstat, fd_props and inventing inodes [PATCH]
Message-Id: <E18XkXR-0001ZC-00@phekda.freeserve.co.uk>
Reply-To: djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

Below is a revision of Andrew's patch to make fstat generate
the same inode for a file irrespective of which file name
was used to open the file or how many times fstat has been called.
(Calling fstat multiple times on file descriptor gives different
inode values each time on Windows '98 SE.)

Basically: The patch uses fd_props to obtain the file name used
to open a file. It fixes up the file name and then uses
that as the input to _invent_inode.

Changes over Andrew's patch:

* Moved _fixpath out of #ifndef NO_ST_BLKSIZE/#endif conditional,
  so that it'll still work when NO_ST_BLKSIZE is defined.

* Updated the comments in fstat.c slightly.

* Updated fstat docs.

* Add a changelog entry.

I tested with fileutils 4.1 and I didn't see any regressions.
I tested with src/libc/posix/sys/stat/fstat.c compiled with -DTEST.

OK to commit?

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
