Jon, thanks for the patch. Out of curiosity, why do you do this:
ssize_t size;
size = cygwin_conv_path(CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX | CCP_ABSOLUTE, widepath,
NULL, 0);
if (size >= 0)
{
char *posixpath = malloc(size);
if (!cygwin_conv_path(CCP_WIN_W_TO_POSIX | CCP_ABSOLUTE, widepath,
posixpath, size))
Instead of simply using cygwin_create_path() ?
