In function sh_realpath() defined in lib/sh/pathphys.c, the arguments passed to sh_makepath() are inverted. This makes the sh_realpath() fail when <pathname> is not an absolute path because the expected concatenation is <wd>/<pathname>, not the reverse.
This problem does not look to be critical, at least in Bash 4.1, because the function is only used in examples/loadablesrealpath.c. --- lib/sh/pathphys.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/sh/pathphys.c b/lib/sh/pathphys.c index 15fcd25..87fbe64 100644 --- a/lib/sh/pathphys.c +++ b/lib/sh/pathphys.c @@ -269,7 +269,7 @@ sh_realpath (pathname, resolved) wd = get_working_directory ("sh_realpath"); if (wd == 0) return ((char *)NULL); - tdir = sh_makepath ((char *)pathname, wd, 0); + tdir = sh_makepath ((const char *)wd, pathname, 0); free (wd); } else -- 1.7.10.4
