Hi all
is it possible to introduce similar solution for Windows systems in future?
I am aware it is not available because of lack of posix_fadvise function,
but I believe there is a way to introduce this feature for Win systems.

Regards,
Bartek

Probably the best case scenario would be to make some library routines
that wrap the windows API and emulate posix_fadvise. This may or may
not be possible, but win32 API does support asynchronous i/o so it
might be.
