Re: [PATCH v3] Make zpty module work in the cygwin and msys2

[Jun T <takimoto-j@kba.biglobe.ne.jp>]

Thank you for the patch. It (v3) works fine on my Cygwin (3.1.7).

Are you sure it will be fixed in 3.2.0 (and also not fixed in 3.1.x) ?


Currently, all or part of the following tests are skipped on Cygwin
due to the broken zpty:

E01, V08, W02, X0{2,3,4} Y0{1,2,3}

If these are modified so that they are no skipped on Cygwin, all of them
pass except Y01, which fails as follows:


./Y01completion.ztst: starting.

Was testing: ignore backslashes when sorting completion matches
./Y01completion.ztst: test failed.


As you can see, 'sortnobslash/foo' (instead of 'sortnobslash/\foo') is created
by the touch command.
I guess '\' is not allowed in a filename on Cygwin.
