#7971: doesDirectoryExist description differs from its behavior ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: dsf | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: libraries/directory Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by dsf): I have satisfied myself that removeDirectoryRecursive will not follow symlinks. Although doesDirectoryExist will return true for a symlink to an existing directory, before that can happen the call to removeFile would remove the symlink. That caution in the documentation can be removed. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7971#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
