Problem with tsrm_realpath_r on Windows

Hello list, at the moment I'm having a problem with most filesystem functions (because they are using tsrm_realpath_r internally) and a special situation. Steps to reproduce: | md test1 | mklink /j test test1 | icacls test /deny *S-1-1-0:(rd) at this point I can't create/write to a file in test: | php -r "file_put_contents('test/test.txt', 'test');" | | Warning: file_put_contents(test\test.txt): failed to open stream: | No such file or directory in Command line code on line 1 even this should be possible. Also I can't use realpath in this dir (You remember this Pierre? ;-) ): | cd test | php -r "var_dump(realpath('.'));" | bool(false) even this should also be possible. BTW: getcwd() is working in this dir. Well, if I change tsrm_realpath_r in tsrm_virtual_cwd.c (line ~863 / php5.3.5) from: | hLink = CreateFile(path, GENERIC_READ, ... to | hLink = CreateFile(path, 0, ... it's working as expected. But maybe there is another good reason to use GENERIC_READ at this point... Regards, Carsten
