[pdf-devel] Disk Filesystem implementation patch

[Aleksander Morgado]

Hi Jose, Hans & all,

Following the work started by Zac, I almost finished the disk
filesystem implementation. Still some things missing, marked as TODO
or FIXME in the code, but I guess they are not critical right now. I
will develop the remaining stuff, so I will just leave the flytask #39
still open.

Some comments:
- Compiles under mingw32, and may be tested with wine (right now
following the steps I sent last week).
- In order to use Unicode path names in win32, all the required system
calls use the wide-char versions provided by windows. Note that in
this OS, wide char strings are just UTF-16LE encoded strings.
- Didn't test anything it under Mac OS X, but I will.
- Didn't test most of the code not even in GNU systems, so there are
probably some of errors... unit tests will find them :-)
- Changed a couple of minor things in the API... texi documentation updated
- Use it at your own risk :-)

Jose,
You may give it a try with the filters unit tests, and blame me if
something fails...

Hans,
Not sure if defined in the list of unit tests for the fsys module, but
please take into account that when testing under windows, windows disk
filesystem paths must be given. I think you can configure wine in such
a way that your own GNU/Linux partitions can be treated as C:, D:, E:
and such.


Cheers,
-Aleksander
