[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55161] Cannot open multiple files from Google Drive File Stream in the editor

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #55161 (project octave):

Alright, I attached the file with the working check as mentioned in comment
#18


retval = (hfi1.dwVolumeSerialNumber == hfi2.dwVolumeSerialNumber
          && hfi1.nFileIndexHigh == hfi2.nFileIndexHigh
          && hfi1.nFileIndexLow == hfi2.nFileIndexLow
          && hfi1.nFileSizeHigh == hfi2.nFileSizeHigh
          && hfi1.nFileSizeLow == hfi2.nFileSizeLow
          && hfi1.ftLastWriteTime.dwLowDateTime ==
hfi2.ftLastWriteTime.dwLowDateTime
          && hfi1.ftLastWriteTime.dwHighDateTime ==
hfi2.ftLastWriteTime.dwHighDateTime);


The reason for this Windows API code to be used might be, that it is sponsored
2009 by StackOverflow to address those many absurd ways of specifying case
insensitive, abbreviated, ..., paths in MS Windows:

Torsten, your suggestion is to rely on the canonical path only to check for
equality?  I was fine with it, the alternative by "GetFileInformationByHandle"
is error prone too, as shown by this bug report.
