From e02ca72f70ed8f0268a81f72cb3230c72e538e77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiang Xin Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 23:53:43 +0800 Subject: path.c: refactor relative_path(), not only strip prefix Original design of relative_path() is simple, just strip the prefix (*base) from the absolute path (*abs). In most cases, we need a real relative path, such as: ../foo, ../../bar. That's why there is another reimplementation (path_relative()) in quote.c. Borrow some codes from path_relative() in quote.c to refactor relative_path() in path.c, so that it could return real relative path, and user can reuse this function without reimplementing his/her own. The function path_relative() in quote.c will be substituted, and I would use the new relative_path() function when implementing the interactive git-clean later. Different results for relative_path() before and after this refactor: abs path base path relative (original) relative (refactor) ======== ========= =================== =================== /a/b /a/b . ./ /a/b/ /a/b . ./ /a /a/b/ /a ../ / /a/b/ / ../../ /a/c /a/b/ /a/c ../c /x/y /a/b/ /x/y ../../x/y a/b/ a/b/ . ./ a/b/ a/b . ./ a a/b a ../ x/y a/b/ x/y ../../x/y a/c a/b a/c ../c (empty) (null) (empty) ./ (empty) (empty) (empty) ./ (empty) /a/b (empty) ./ (null) (null) (null) ./ (null) (empty) (null) ./ (null) /a/b (segfault) ./ You may notice that return value "." has been changed to "./". It is because: * Function quote_path_relative() in quote.c will show the relative path as "./" if abs(in) and base(prefix) are the same. * Function relative_path() is called only once (in setup.c), and it will be OK for the return value as "./" instead of ".".
