We received a report from a well-meaning security researcher who was confused by the non-zero and arbitrary value of st_ino in stat() results on Windows (where in Python 2 this was always zero). The researcher was worried that this was due to an uninitialized memory read. The actual cause is the way this field is filled with arbitary data: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Python/fileutils.c#L758 Let's make sure this is documented properly for all versions where we still update the docs. |
