File::ALT_SEPARATOR should be nil on platforms that don't have alternate path
separators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-1018
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-1018
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.0.0RC2
Environment: OS X 10.4.9, Java 1.5
Reporter: Daniel Berger
Priority: Minor
The File::ALT_SEPARATOR constant should be nil unless the filesystem actually
supports that separator, e.g. Windows (and OpenVMS, I think). At the moment, it
looks like it's always set to a backslash, regardless of platform. This is
sometimes used as a way to check for MS Windows as a platform check.
