Topic: wasmtime / PR #1284 Path symlink follow

Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (Mar 11 2020 at 16:08):

marmistrz opened PR #1284 from path_symlink_follow to master:

Currently, path_link doesn't take old_flags into account and always follows symlinks. Besides, the tests are incorrect: it's okay to create a hardlink to the dangling symlink or a symlink loop as long as symlinks are not being followed.

This PR fixes the tests and makes sure that path_link follows symlinks only when asked to.

I've discovered this issue while working on the implementation of path_link for Windows and decided it's going to be easier to discuss the issue together with a fix.
