Bug in ar (all binutils version)

[Mario Cupelli]

Hi,

the rename of temporary files does not work under windows. 

Script test.mri
--------------
create foo.a
addmod a.o
save 
exit

Script test1.mri
--------------
create foo.a
addmod b.o
save
exit

ar -M foo.a < test.mri
ar -t foo.a will result a.o

ar -M foo.a < test.mri
ar -t foo.a will result a.o instead of b.o under windows.

The bug is in arsup.c in function ar_save. The rename instead of smart_rename is
used. The smart_rename function take the operating system into account. This bug
is in all version of the binutils 2.11, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 under windows.


SW-Changes:

File: arsup.c
#if defined (_WIN32) && !defined (__CYGWIN32__)
         smart_rename (ofilename, real_name, 0);
#else
      rename (ofilename, real_name);
#endif


Bye

Mario
