Windows is not the only culprit, some older automount daemons insert strange prefixes into absolute directory paths that we have to remove before storing the result for use later. =head1 FUNCTIONS =over 4 =item UnixPath( I ) C should be used on any pathnames provided by external tools to convert them into a form that Perl understands. On cygwin we convert Windows drive specs to the equivalent cygdrive path, and on Windows we switch directory separators from back-slash to forward slashes. =cut sub UnixPath { my ($newpath) = @_; if ($^O eq 'cygwin') { $newpath =~ s{\\}{/}go; $newpath =~ s{^([a-zA-Z]):/}{/cygdrive/$1/}; } elsif ($^O eq 'MSWin32') { $newpath =~ s{\\}{/}go; } return $newpath; } =item LocalPath( I ) C should be used when generating pathnames for external tools or to put into a file. It converts paths from the Unix form that Perl understands to any necessary external representation, and also removes automounter prefixes to put the path into its canonical form. On cygwin we convert cygdrive paths to their equivalent Windows drive specs. Before Leopard, the Mac OS X automounter inserted a verbose prefix, and in case anyone is still using SunOS it adds its own prefix as well. =cut sub LocalPath { my ($newpath) = @_; if ($^O eq 'cygwin') { $newpath =~ s{^/cygdrive/([a-zA-Z])/}{$1:/}; } elsif ($^O eq 'darwin') { # Darwin automounter $newpath =~ s{^/private/var/auto\.}{/}; } elsif ($^O eq 'sunos') { # SunOS automounter $newpath =~ s{^/tmp_mnt/}{/}; } return $newpath; } =item AbsPath( I ) =item AbsPath( I, I ) The C function in Perl's C module doesn't like non-existent path components other than in the final position, but EPICS tools needs to be able to handle them in paths like F<$(TOP)/lib/$(T_A)> before the F<$(TOP)/lib> directory has been created. C takes a path I and optionally an absolute path to a directory that first is relative to; if the second argument is not provided the current working directory is used. The result returned has been filtered through C to remove any automounter prefixes. =cut sub AbsPath { my ($path, $cwd) = @_; $path = '.' unless defined $path; if (defined $cwd) { croak("'$cwd' is not an absolute path") unless $cwd =~ m[^ / ]x; } else { $cwd = getcwd(); } # Move leading ./ and ../ components from $path to $cwd if (my ($dots, $not) = ($path =~ m[^ ( (?: \. \.? / )+ ) ( .* ) $]x)) { $cwd .= "/$dots"; $path = $not; } # Handle any trailing .. part if ($path eq '..') { $cwd .= '/..'; $path = '.' } # Now calculate the absolute path my $abs = File::Spec->rel2abs($path, abs_path($cwd)); return LocalPath($abs); } =back =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2008 UChicago Argonne LLC, as Operator of Argonne National Laboratory.
