Bug ID: 27252
Summary: nm doesn't recognize null device on MS-Windows
Product: binutils
Version: 2.36
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: binutils

Patch to recognize the null device on MS-Windows
On Unix, if you type "nm -B /dev/null", you get a nice warning:
nm: Warning: '/dev/null' is not an ordinary file
But on Windows no such warning happens, and 'nm' behaves as if the null device
were a regular file of zero size. This is because the MS-Windows
implementation of 'stat' doesn't report the null device as a character-special
file, it reports it as a regular file.
The attached file fixes this problem, and a similar problem in 'elfedit'.
