The current isabspath() macro requires an absolute path starting with
drive letter and colon
to be just drive letter and colon or to be followed by (back)slash.
See \usr\src\cygwin-1.5.24-2\winsup\cygwin\winsup.h:
#define isabspath(p) \
(isdirsep (*(p)) || (isalpha (*(p)) && (p)[1] == ':' && (!(p)[2] ||
isdirsep ((p)[2]))))
So that c:\, c:, c:\. are abspaths but c:. is not!
I suggest to drop that requirement so that absolute path would start
with slash,
backslash or drive letter and colon.
#define isabspath(p) \
( isdirsep (*(p)) || (isalpha (*(p)) && (p)[1] == ':' ) )
After that change cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() treats all following paths
in the same
way:
c:\ /cygdrive/c
c: /cygdrive/c
c:\.\ /cygdrive/c/
c:\. /cygdrive/c
c:.\ /cygdrive/c/./
c:. /cygdrive/c/.
Before the suggested change last two items were slashified only.
