On Windows with MSVC, get_dirent_type() was recently made to return DT_LNK for junction points by commit 9d3444dc, which fixed some defective dirent.c code. On Windows with Cygwin, get_dirent_type() already worked for symlinks, as it does on POSIX systems, because Cygwin has its own fake symlinks that behave like POSIX (on closer inspection, Cygwin's dirent has the BSD d_type extension but it's probably always DT_UNKNOWN, so we fall back to lstat(), which understands Cygwin symlinks with S_ISLNK()). On Windows with MinGW/MSYS, we need extra code, because the MinGW runtime has its own readdir() without d_type, and the lstat()-based fallback has no knowledge of our convention for treating junctions as symlinks. Back-patch to 14, where get_dirent_type() landed. Reported-by: Andrew Dunstan <andrew@dunslane.net> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/b9ddf605-6b36-f90d-7c30-7b3e95c46276%40dunslane.net
