New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr>:
In the implementation of nt._getfinalpathname() (in posixmodule.c) we have:
/* We have a good handle to the target, use it to determine the
target path name. */
buf_size = Py_GetFinalPathNameByHandleW(hFile, 0, 0, VOLUME_NAME_NT);
[...]
result_length = Py_GetFinalPathNameByHandleW(hFile, target_path,
buf_size, VOLUME_NAME_DOS);
There doesn't seem to be a good reason to use VOLUME_NAME_NT in the first call
and VOLUME_NAME_DOS in the second. Especially given the second call might
require more characters than the first call, and therefore return a truncated
path.
