Unsure: - line 2842, "root directory of the process" ... I'd assume the process root dir is always resolved already to a true directory?, just as the current working directory in line 2845? ...

[Issue 8 drafts 0001603]: minor error in the pathname resolution
The following issue has been SUBMITTED. == https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1603 == Reported By:calestyo Assigned To: == Project:Issue 8 drafts Issue ID: 1603 Category: Base Definitions and Headers Type: Enhancement Request Severity: Editorial Priority: normal Status: New Name: Christoph Anton Mitterer Organization: User Reference: Section:4.14 Pathname Resolution Page Number:94 Line Number:2850 ff Final Accepted Text: == Date Submitted: 2022-08-30 23:34 UTC Last Modified: 2022-08-30 23:34 UTC == Summary:minor error in the pathname resolution Description: Hey. Pathname resolution says: "A pathname that contains at least one non- character and that ends with one or more trailing characters shall not be resolved successfully unless the last pathname component before the trailing characters names an existing directory or a directory entry that is to be created for a directory immediately after the pathname is resolved." But shouldn't it also resolve successfully when the last pathname component before the trailing characters names a symbolic link pointing to a existing directory? Not sure if one should also allow a dangling symlink if the directory is to be created? I guess rather not because e.g. $ ln -s non-existing dangling $ mkdir -p dangling/sub fails and probably should do so Desired Action: In line 2852, after: "names an existing directory" insert " or symbolic link that points to such" == Issue History Date ModifiedUsername FieldChange == 2022-08-30 23:34 calestyo New Issue 2022-08-30 23:34 calestyo Name => Christoph Anton Mitterer 2022-08-30 23:34 calestyo Section => 4.14 Pathname Resolution 2022-08-30 23:34 calestyo Page Number => 94 2022-08-30 23:34 calestyo Line Number => 2850 ff ==
