[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63803] Saving causes OOM, crash, and loss of already saved data

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #25, bug #63803 (project octave):

Right, I meant that where we call std::rename, we could use the gnulib module
to provide a replacement on systems where it is needed.  That doesn't change
what we do prior to calling std::rename.

But I see now that we are calling _wrename on Windows and gnulib doesn't use
that.

If I understand correctly, the problems that the gnulib module fixes are to
work properly on Windows, on which the system rename function will not replace
an existing destination file, and on other systems, to fix problems with names
that have trailing slash characters.  So I guess those seem like low priority
things for Octave.
