Hi,
I have just uploaded a new version of Win32POSIX. A POSIX implementation for
Windows based system. This is just a partial implementation since Windows is
really far to be POSIX compliant :)
Thanks a lot to Jean-Pierre.Rosen ;) for his contributions. Jean-Pierre as
continued the foolish project to have a POSIX interface on native (read non
Cygwin based) Windows :) and we can tell you that it is quite difficult! Win32
API is just plain amazing sometimes :)
Anyway you'll find v1.12b on my homepage. A direct access to the Win32POSIX
page is: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pascal.obry/archive/w32posix.html
Here are the main changes:
<<
changes since 1.11b
-------------------
POSIX API should be thread safe. In many places this was not true before.
POSIX.Process_Primitives
It is possible to launch .com and .exe (not only .exe as before).
POSIX.Calendar
Handle milliseconds.
POSIX.Files
Is_Symbolic_Link added.
Is_Socket added.
Both always return False on Win32.
For_Every_Directory_Entry, check for pathname with directory separator.
POSIX.File_Status
Get_File_Status new version should be better than before. Do not
handle devices as this seems to be impossible on Win32.
POSIX.Process_Environment
Environment_Value_Of correctly return Undefined if variable not found.
Reformat the code.
>>
Enjoy,
Pascal.
