This currently fails because the windows only realpath implementation in
pbd/pathexpand.cc, which is called from PBD::canonical_path to resolve the path
uses Glib::locale_from/to_utf8. As I demonstrated in the
testOpenFileUTF8Filename test case Glib::locale_from/to_utf8 are not the
correct functions to use for this use case as it converts to/from utf-8 to the
locale's current character encoding. On Windows this is most often a single
byte encoding such as Windows-1252 and conversion will fail if the path
contains any characters that are not in system codepage.
Remove the directory recursively including itself. The function
is used in two places only:
* LV2Plugin::add_state() -- no change, remove tmp. state
* Session::save_as() -- on error, remove target
In both cases removing the folder itself is correct.
GStatBuf is not usable on 32 bit Windows without the redefinition in
pbd/gstdio_compat.h so add a test to check for the correct behavior of
g_stat and g_utime on all platforms now that the issue is fixed.
From this I can see that PBD::copy_file is not working correctly on windows
as it is adding windows style line endings. Adding O_BINARY to ::open flags
would fix it, but perhaps there is a better way...
