Hi,
It seems intended to be, but I'm not sure. I think it's a great feature
when porting the windows depended code("\\" in path name) to linux, but
there is potential problem, how to reference a file which name contians
"\\" on linux? And this different may cause surprise when some
applications depends on the behavior of RI.
Any comments/suggestions?
Best Regards,
Regis.

[classlib][luni] - different behavior with RI when file path contains "\\" in
Linux
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HARMONY-5987
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5987
Project: Harmony
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Classlib
Affects Versions: 5.0M7
Reporter: Regis Xu
Fix For: 5.0M8
Consider the test:
File file = new File("d1\\d2");
file.mkdirs();
RI create a directory named "d1\d2", while Harmony create two directories "d1" and
"d1/d2", seems RI doesn't covert windows file separator char "\\" to system separator char on
Linux, and
spec says nothing about it. I quickly navigate the source, found we have a method fixSlashes in java.io.File, which convert "\\" or "/" to system separator char, so it may be intended or a
feature of harmony?
