DOS/Windows-specific code: source.c
* source.c:openp()
#ifdef _WIN32
mode |= O_BINARY;
#endif
I think this is obsolete and should be removed: defining
CRLF_SOURCE_FILES in xm-whatever should solve the underlying problem.
For those who don't know: the problem here is that find_source_lines
creates a table which records the byte position of each line in a
source file, but many DOS/Windows libraries don't DTRT with byte
offsets unless the file is open in binary mode. So this issue is
limited to source files, and CRLF_SOURCE_FILES should provide the
solution there for Windows systems.
(Code which wants to open binary files, like in exec.c, already uses
O_BINARY when it calls openp. Hmm, perhaps solib.c should be fixed to
use O_BINARY when it looks for the libraries.)
