[ruby-core:103856] [Ruby master Bug#12551] Exception accessing file with long path on windows

Issue #12551 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).


Thank you for the input.
It seems different from this document a little:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=cmd#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later
Is it convertible?

Accessing file with a long file name causes this exception:

C:/Projects/Head/Build/cm/testdir01/testdir02/testdir03/testdir04/testdir05/testdir06/testdir07/testdir08/testdir09/testdir10/testdir11/testdir12/testdir13/testdir14/testdir15/testdir16/testdir17/testdir18/testdir19/testdir20/testdir21/testdir22/longtestfile.name.txt

        from repro_lstat_exception.rb:13:in `chdir'
        from repro_lstat_exception.rb:13:in `<main>'

Can be reproduced with the attach script.

I used windows 7 64 bit and an NTFS file system. 

For me it looks like, it has something to do with the legacy MAX_PATH_LENGTH of 260 characters. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247(v=vs.85).aspx#maxpath for more information. 

Originally I discovered the bug with JRuby (https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues/3995).

With older Ruby version, I tried 1.8.5, it is working.
