fitzgen closed issue #582:
Windows 10 1607+ has the feature to delete files with "POSIX semantics".
See the documentation on
FILE_DISPOSITION_POSIX_SEMANTICS. This should be possible to do from user mode viaNtSetInformationFile.For the implementation of
__wasi_path_unlink_file, I think we should probably attempt to unlink the file with POSIX semantics first and fallback to stdlib'sremove_fileimplementation if it's not supported.See #566 for some context to this feature.
When implemented, we should enable the
dangling_fdtest to cover this when the operating system is Windows 10 1607 or higher.

Closing this because WASI is not tracked in this repo anymore.
