There were the problem while I advert to dosdevices through WINE. I made the
test (Windows vs Wine), which shows that in Windows there are available
dosfiles (such as NUL, COM1, COM2,.., LPT1, ..), and in Wine aren't. The
characteristic property of these files is that I can advert to them only
directly. In other cases they are invisible.
patch for test
changelog
tests/file.c: added test of FindFirstFileA to check correct handling
of
advertments to dosdevices.
May I ask why such complication? Isn't it easier to create all those COM
LPT, NUL, etc in ~/.wine/dosdevices?
That seems to be a better way to handle this, because that some-what
close to how native does it.
I don't the point, as what the patch implement is to make visible, in
every directory, the dos devices' names, and any creation in dosdevices
won't solve this particular point.
