Re: Windows same_file macro not reliable/usable when using Visual Stdudio

[Paul Eggert]

I'm afraid it doesn't suffice merely to say "here's some code; figure it 
out"; we need a patch against Gnulib, something that you've tested. I 
suggest using the format of "git format-patch" for the patch, and using 
"git send-email" to email the patch to address@hidden You can use 
the following commands to get started:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnulib.git

git format-patch -1

This should generate a patch in the sort of format we're looking for. To test 
your work, run a command like this:

./gnulib-tool --test stat linkat

Substitute the modules you have affected and want to test for "stat linkat".
