Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: The latest POSIX versions (*) allow NULL to be passed for the target memory area, meaning that realpath() will allocate as much memory as necessary by itself. This essentially does the same thing as canonicalize_file_name(), but in a standard way rather than by relying on a GNU extension.
I suppose that possibility could be checked at configure time.
