To: cygwin From: Ken Brown Subject: cygwin_conv_path sometimes removes trailing slash Message-ID: <56AC2C35.9060903@cornell.edu> Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 22:21:25 -0500 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.5.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes I'm using cygwin_conv_path to convert Win32 paths to POSIX paths, and I'm puzzled by the conversion d:/ --> /cygdrive/d without the trailing slash. By contrast, we have d:/foo/ --> /cygdrive/d/foo/ Is the removal of the trailing slash in the first example a deliberate design decision? I find it counter-intuitive. My tests are essentially based on the example at the end of https://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/func-cygwin-conv-path.html: #include #include #include int main () { wchar_t *win32 = L"d:/"; ssize_t size; char *posix; size = cygwin_conv_path (CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX, win32, NULL, 0); if (size < 0) perror ("cygwin_conv_path"); else { posix = (char *) malloc (size); if (cygwin_conv_path (CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX, win32, posix, size)) perror ("cygwin_conv_path"); } printf ("%s\n", posix); } Ken -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
