Description
On Windows my_rename() deletes the target file before renaming. But if the source file does not exist, it means that a target file was deleted erroneously.
It particular, this is a problem for handler::rename_table() that renames all files from handler::bas_ext(). It assumes that the table was renamed successfully if at least some files existed and were renamed. On Windows it would delete all other target files though.
Possible fixes:
- verify that the source file exists in my_rename() — unnecessary overhead?
- verify that the source file exists in handler::rename_table()
- add a special MYF flag to my_rename() that tells to verify whether the source exists before deleting; use this flag in handler::rename_table()
