From 87ab963968f43243e49ea283e8b3f3f1ce6bebbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 23:07:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] windows: clarify the need for invalidcontinue.obj Git's source code wants to be able to close() the same file descriptor multiple times, ignoring the error returned by the second call (and the ones after that), or to access the osfhandle of an already-closed stdout, among other things that the UCRT does not like. Simply linking invalidcontinue.obj allows such usage without resorting to Debug Assertions (or exiting with exit code 9 in Release Mode). Let's add a note so we don't forget, as suggested by Jeff Hostetler. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235330.aspx for more details.
