Description quetschke 2007-06-03 17:22:47 UTC 
Teach dmake to normalize leading slashes according to POSIX rules. (One or more
than two leading slashes -> /  and keep // as it has a special meaning.)

Also reduce multiple slashes after a dos drive letter to exactly one slash.
(c:\\\\bla -> c:/blah)

See issue 74007 for the patch.

Committed testcase and documentation.
Comment 2 quetschke 2007-06-22 21:49:18 UTC 
Please verify.
Comment 3 hjs 2007-06-26 18:34:58 UTC 
peeking around:

found a rather pathological case which doesn't normalize well to posix notation:
c:/ff/./\\pp -> /cygdrive/c/ff//pp

it looks like backslashes are only handled on windows, ignored elsewhere.
Comment 4 quetschke 2007-06-26 19:12:17 UTC 
Oeh! Well, this is actually an oversight from issue 69742. The patch from
this issue only touched leading /s or the first slashes behind a drive letter.

Nice catch ;) but not relevant, I hope. Can I fix this in dmake411 ?
