Since our handling of that stuff never really worked the way we wanted
(or if it did, then Windows' behaviour changed, possibly well over a
decade ago, from what I could dig up), this isn't an open item
candidate for 14 after all, it's a pre-existing condition. So I
propose to push this fix to master only soon, and then let it stew
there for a little while to see how the buildfarm Windows variants and
the Windows hacker community testing on master react. If it looks
good, we can back-patch it a bit later, perhaps some more convenient
time WRT the release.
I added a CF entry to see if anyone else wants to review it and get CI.
One small detail I'd like to draw attention to is this bit, which
differs slightly from the [non-working] previous attempts by mapping
to two different errors:
+ * If there's no O_CREAT flag, then we'll pretend the file is
+ * invisible. With O_CREAT, we have no choice but to report that
+ * there's a file in the way (which wouldn't happen on Unix).
...
+ if (fileFlags & O_CREAT)
+ err = ERROR_FILE_EXISTS;
+ else
+ err = ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND;
