Description:
------------
In this code is file pointer changed in PHP 7.3



Test script:
---------------
$f = fopen('test', 'w');
fwrite($f, 'Hello');
ftruncate($f, 2); // in 7.3 changes file pointer to 2
fwrite($f, 'World');
fclose($f);
echo file_get_contents('test');



Expected result:
----------------
Should return "He\x00\x00\x00World"

Actual result:
--------------
'HeWorld'

I don't see any change in behavior.

You shouldn't actually see "\x00" in any output. Whether you would see anything at all for those NULs depends.
  echo addslashes(file_get_contents('test'));

The behavioral change has been introduced with commit 9cd2d77[1],
and affects Windows only.  Before this commit the output with
addslashes has been (and still is on Linux):

  He\0\0\0World

Anatol, would it be possible to restore the former behavior
without loosing the fix for bug #76422?  However, it seems that
memory streams already behave like file streams on Windows now[2].
Maybe we should just document that ftruncate() may affect the
position of the file pointer or not.

Thanks for the ping, Christoph. I think, it's a regression and will be working on a fix.

Thanks.
