* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* nt/inc/unistd.h (O_NOFOLLOW): New macro.
* src/filelock.c: Include <c-ctype.h>.
(MAX_LFINFO): New top-level constant.
(lock_info_type): Remove members pid, boot_time. Add members at,
dot, colon. Change user member to be the entire buffer, not a
pointer. This allows us to handle the case where a foreign
pid or boot time exceeds the local range. All uses changed.
(LINKS_MIGHT_NOT_WORK): New constant.
(FREE_LOCK_INFO): Remove, as the pieces no longer need freeing.
(defined_WINDOWSNT): Remove.
(MAKE_LOCK_NAME, file_in_lock_file_name):
Always use .#FILE (not .#-FILE) for the file lock,
even if it is a regular file.
(rename_lock_file): New function.
(create_lock_file): Use it.
(create_lock_file, read_lock_data):
Prefer a symbolic link for the lock file, falling back on a
regular file if symlinks don't work. Do not try to create
symlinks on MS-Windows, due to security hassles. Stick with
POSIXish functions (open, read, write, close, fchmod, readlink, symlink,
link, rename, unlink, mkstemp) when creating locks, as a GNUish
host may be using a Windowsish file system, and cannot use
MS-Windows-only system calls. Fall back on mktemp if mkstemp
doesn't work. Don't fail merely because of a symlink-contents
length limit in the current file system; fall back on regular
files. Increase the symlink contents length limit to 8 KiB, this
should be big enough for any real use and doesn't crunch the
stack.
(create_lock_file, lock_file_1, read_lock_data):
Simplify allocation of lock file buffers now that they fit in 8 KiB.
(lock_file_1): Return error number, not bool. All callers changed.
(ELOOP): New macro, if not already defined.
(read_lock_data): Return size of lock file contents, not Lisp object.
All callers changed. Handle a race condition if some other process
replaces a regular-file lock with a symlink lock or vice versa,
while we're trying to read the lock.
(current_lock_owner): Parse contents more carefully, to help avoid
confusing a regular-file lock with some other application's use
of the file. Check for lock file contents being too long, or
not parsing correctly.
(current_lock_owner, lock_file):
Allow foreign pid and boot times that exceed the local range.
(current_lock_owner, lock_if_free, lock_file):
Simplify allocation of lock file contents.
* src/w32.c (sys_rename_replace): New function, containing most of
the contents of the old sys_rename.
(sys_rename): Use it.
(fchmod): New dummy function.
* src/w32.h (sys_rename_replace, fchmod): New decls.
