Subject: Strange behavior when executing programs
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2022 11:21:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1031eafe-fc3b-ab5b-6e63-b0f56c038332@razorcat.com> (raw)
Hello List,
I have a strange behavior when the executing a program in a shell. I'm
on Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2251). The strange behavior
occurs when the current directory is on a drive created with subst.
Originally I found the problem in a MSYS shell and already reported the
problem here https://github.com/msys2/msys2.github.io/issues/234. In a
reply someone asked me to check how it behaves under cygwin.
Here are the steps to reproduce the problem.
Inside a Windows CMD
C:\Users\f.redeker>subst s: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System"
C:\Users\f.redeker>subst
S:\: => C:\Program Files\Common Files\System
On a computer with an older cygwin intallation
$ uname -a

On a computer with a more actual version,
$ uname -a

$ realpath /cygdrive/s/ado/msadox.dll
/cygdrive/s/ado/msadox.dll
$ realpath msadox.dll

Is there any way to restore the old behavior. Since with the new
behavior my tests no longer work.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
Frank Redeker
