#8752: System.FilePath.Windows.combine does not really check isAbsolute -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joeyhess | Owner: thomie Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries | Version: 7.9 (other) | Keywords: filepath Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: Windows | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by joeyhess): Changing the doc string in only System.FilePath.Windows.combine would be confusing because System.FilePath.Posix.combine has the same doc string. And I assume most users just use System.FilePath and assume it works for any OS, so probably won't notice if the windows version has a caveat added. Would changing the implementation to really check isAbsolute be likely to break things? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8752#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
