I’m not an expert at all in this area. I did run a few queries against Win sources though.

I think ERROR_INVALID_DRIVE is dead. The only place I found it mentioned was in the CRT trying to translate it to ENOENT. There was a comment from 1989 there, it may have meant something in the DOS / Win9x days.

ERROR_BAD_NETPATH seems to happen when the path looks okay but DNS fails on the input:

//
// MessageId: ERROR_BAD_NETPATH
//
// MessageText:
//
// The network path was not found.
//
#define ERROR_BAD_NETPATH                53L

C:\Users\bion\Desktop>type test_error.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <system_error>
#include <Windows.h>

int wmain(int argc, wchar_t *argv[]) {
    if (argc != 2) {
        puts("usage: test_error.exe path");
        return -1;
    }
    HANDLE hFile = CreateFileW(
        argv[1],
        FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES,
        FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE,
        0,
        OPEN_EXISTING,
        FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
        nullptr);

    if (hFile != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
        puts("didn't get expected error");
        CloseHandle(hFile);
        return -1;
    }

    DWORD lastError = GetLastError();
    printf("GetLastError() == %lu == 0x%08lX: %s", lastError, lastError,
        std::system_category().message(lastError).c_str());
    return 0;
}

C:\Users\bion\Desktop>cl /nologo /EHsc /W4 /WX .\test_error.cpp
test_error.cpp

C:\Users\bion\Desktop>.\test_error.exe \\notaserver.example.com\foo\bar\baz
GetLastError() == 53 == 0x00000035: The network path was not found.

C:\Users\bion\Desktop>

I don’t think ERROR_DEV_NOT_EXIST can be triggered from a file path. I saw it only in places where mount points were being processed. (e.g. you tried to mount this device but that device doesn’t exist) But I’m not positive.

Hope that helps,

Billy O'Neal (copied) at Microsoft might be able to help; he's been
doing similar error-code mapping for their filesystems (for C++17).
