Subject: Re: [PATCH, UDEV] change no_trailing_slash() to remove all trailing
Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 01:11:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050205171141.0e2c7eab.pj@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200502051818.54277.mbuesch@freenet.de>
What if someone does:
strcpy(buf, "/");
no_trailing_slash(buf);
strcat(buf, "foo");
Would you expect "foo", or "/foo" ?
Actually, I did not expect this to be called in the middle
of a construction, after only explicit constant strings
had been added.
I would have expected it to be called after the final
construction, following the concatenation of a variable
string.
And I would have expected it to scrupulously avoid changing
the meaning of the path - just cosmetic trimming.
But apparently my expectations are confused. Feel free to
dismiss my comments.
