the importfile function, src/cmd/gc/lex.c, will always fail for windows fully qualified file names #732
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. attempting to import a local package on windows What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The package should import. Error "can't find import" In the importfile function of lex.c, once a local package is identified, by a call to islocalname, the fully qualified file name is assembled and findpkg is called. findpkg makes a call to islocalname with the fully qualified file name (fqfn) and on windows the call will always fail. E.g. say we have: import "./svg" The importfile function makes a call to islocalname with "./svg", if the call passes the fqfn is assembled and findpkg is called. Contrasting fqfns: - OSX: /Users/jpoirier/svgo/svg - Windows: C:\Users/jpoirier/svgo/svg findpkg calls islocalname passing the fqfn as a parameter. islocalname checks the first few characters of the fqfn against "/", "./", or "../" which always fails on windows because of the unique fqfn.
