QDir::cleanPath not working correctly

[rudi]

QDir::cleanPath("E:\\\\Qt\\\\4.7.3")

will give an unexpected result.

Hmm, you basically reverted r1042 -) This is not correct; r1042 fixes a fundamental bug in Qt that cost me a lot of time to find and fix. Everything what is necessary in this case is to express that the path with the drive letter is not a network share, see r1084.

But thanks for noticing! It's a tiny regression of r1042.

P.S. The person who wrote QDir::cleanPath() should be seriously punished. I don't know how many hours you need to understand what exactly this code does. This task may be accomplished by a 10 times simpler function...

So we don't do something about the mentioned problem ?

QDir::cleanPath("E:\\\\Qt\\\\4.7.3") -> "e://Qt/4.7.3"

BTW, we see this in Creator's options dialog. When hovering the mouse over an given Qt Version, the source location in the popup window will express exactly this.

Workaround that keeps our changes

Hmm, didn't you rebuild your QtCore4.dll? The issue has been fixed by r1084.

qDebug() << QDir::cleanPath("E:\\\\Qt\\\\4.7.3")

prints

E:/Qt/4.7.3

here. And Qt Creator also works (see the attachment).

You are right ! I had an issue here with the timestamp of a local modification...
