The syscalls.cc file (function stat_worker) contains the following lines:
/* If we can't find the name, try again with a .exe suffix
[but only if not already present]. */
/* FIXME: Doing this is of dubious merit. */
if (atts == -1
&& ((len = strlen (win32_name)) < 5
|| strcasecmp (win32_name + len - 4, ".exe")))
{
debug_printf ("_stat_worker: trying with .exe suffix\n");
strcpy (tmp, win32_name);
strcat (tmp, ".exe");
win32_name = tmp;
atts = GetFileAttributesA (tmp);
}
I don't know - is this code needed or not.
