On Windows with the NTFS filesystem, `fs::copy` would return the sum of the lengths of all streams, which can be different from the length reported by `metadata` and thus confusing for users unaware of this NTFS peculiarity. This makes `fs::copy` return the same length `metadata` reports which is the value it used to return before PR rust-lang#26751. Note that alternate streams are still copied; their length is just not included in the returned value. This change relies on the assumption that the stream with index 1 is always the main stream in the `CopyFileEx` callback. I could not find any official document confirming this but empirical testing has shown this to be true, regardless of whether the alternate stream is created before or after the main stream. Resolves rust-lang#44532

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @dtolnay (or someone else) soon. If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes. Please see the contribution instructions for more information. |
