Thanks Mark. After the fix, "\\" doesn't transform to "/" in constructor
now, but new File("d1\\d2").mkdir(); return false and create nothing on
file system. The implementation of File.mkdir() delegate to native
code by return mkdirImpl(properPath(true)); maybe properPath do the
wrong thing. But I notice new File("d1\\d2").exists() will return false
when there is file "d1/d2" in file system. So I suspect native code
couldn't deal with "\\" correctly neither.
I will try to dig more...
Best Regards,
Regis.

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?
I think we need to change to allow \ to be passed through as part of the
file name on Linux.
I agree with Tim. In fact, I noticed this issue a little while ago and
fixed it (plus some invalid tests) in commit r698140.

[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?
