Follow-up Comment #7, bug #32094 (project gnustep):
> Suppose we have got the path string "//path/tofile/" from an external
source.
> Is it an UNC path as a general rule?
Yes ... that's what our documentation says.
> I think somebody who wants standardize that path expects to get
"/path/tofile"
If you want that behavior, then you should set the library to use strict
'unix' paths as stated in our NSString documentation. That might make sense
if you are writing unix-only code.
But GNUstep is a cross-platform development framework ... and it's vastly
more likely in general (ie not just the unix world) that //xxx/yyy/ is a well
formed UNC path than a poorly formed unix path, so you haven't said anything
which suggests that the current behavior is wrong.
