Version: 8.0-release Windows 10, mingw64-w64.
I'm attempting to use readline in a mingw compiled project and am seeing that the history save is failing. If the history file doesn't exist it is working, on having a history file, it fails. Previously I was using v6.2 without any issues Printing the status out in the sources to find out where it fails, it is failing in histfile_restore when calling the rename function, which looks to have been added for version 7.0 According to http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/rename/ if the dest file already exists, the function may either fail or override the existing file, depending on the specific system and library implementation. And looking at the Microsoft docs for rename: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/rename-wren ame?view=vs-2019, it will return error EACCES when the File or directory specified by newname already exists or could not be created (invalid path); or oldname is a directory and newname specifies a different path.
