This pull request introduces
slashEscape
, which ensures that given paths are (pseudo) POSIX-compliant, while preserving the meaningfulness of escape sequences.Wildmatch expects to perform pattern matching operations on POSIX-compliant paths (and mingw converts automatically [1]), but it is possible that the Windows command prompt does not do this.
To ensure correctness, convert to POSIX ourselves.
This pull request also removes three test cases that have behavior defined by the platform on which they are run. For instance, consider the test
\a\b\c
, which indicatesa/b/c
(in POSIX) on Windows, but on macOS is three invalid escape sequences. The behavior for these cases should be left undefined.
