ent...@cantab.net changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ent...@cantab.net --- Comment #2 from ent...@cantab.net 2012-09-18 07:03:41 PDT --- I originally identified the bug. First I'd like to comment more on the terminology, and give my proposed fix. The description in the documentation matches the implementation, and reflects what a user would find most useful. There is no implementation bug that I'm aware of (see below for more discussion of this). The only issue is naming. The SpanMode enum constants 'depth' and 'breadth' actually describe 'postorder depth-first' and 'preorder depth-first' respectively. That means the word 'depth' carries insufficient information to identify it, and 'breadth' is just wrong. If you're unfamiliar with tree traversal algorithms and can't immediately see this, then please review the examples and terminology on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal . (Pretty much everyone missed the point on the newsgroup - please do this if you're at all uncertain!) So here's my proposed fix: enum SpanMode { shallow, preorder, postorder; @deprecated alias preorder breadth; @deprecated alias postorder depth; } As for the behaviour on Linux - I don't think this is actually violating the spec. Probably what you're complaining about is that the directories 'c' and 'b' are coming before the files '2.txt' and '1.txt' which are siblings. However, the spec doesn't say anything about a directory's position relative to its siblings. It only talks about a directory's position relative to its children. See the difference: For preorder depth-first: a/b must come before a/b/1.txt But a/b has no ordering constraint with a/1.txt If 'directories first' or 'directories last' is required, then that would be more of a feature request than a bug :) It could probably be generalised to child sorting - the user could supply a comparator which (if present) is used to sort the children in each directory.
