Yes that makes sense. But that means I need to test the code on multiple
platforms. To ease the merge in msysgit (the patch is already applied there)
I would suggest to post a follow up patch which would split up the function
into the platform specific parts.
Since the code for cygwin and windows in general is almost the same I would
extract one function for them where I leave in one ifdef for cygwin.
E.g. like this:
static int is_executable(const char *name)
{
struct stat st;
if (stat(name, &st) || /* stat, not lstat */
!S_ISREG(st.st_mode))
return 0;
fill_platform_stat(name, &st);
return st.st_mode & S_IXUSR;
}
which I could then define to a no op on posix. That way we avoid code
duplication in the platform specific functions.
What do you think?
Cheers Heiko
