patch 9.1.0499: MS-Windows: doesn't handle symlinks properly Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/23c5ebeb95cb942df307946e3ced230a7c8312eb Author: LemonBoy <thatlemon@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 18 20:43:51 2024 +0200 patch 9.1.0499: MS-Windows: doesn't handle symlinks properly Problem: MS-Windows: doesn't handle symlinks properly (Timothy Madden) Solution: Implement lstat() on MS-Windows (author) lstat() differs from stat() in how it handles symbolic links, the former doesn't resolve the symlink while the latter does so. Implement a simple yet effective fallback using Win32 APIs. fixes #14933 closes: #15014 Co-authored-by: K.Takata <kentkt@csc.jp> Signed-off-by: LemonBoy <thatlemon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: K.Takata <kentkt@csc.jp> Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>
