Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58326 (project octave): I don't really see this as a bug. Different functions have different purposes, and the purpose of canonicalize_file_name is to return the physical full path of an existing file. It should be kept as close to its C definition as possible. If you also want to expand tilde shortcuts, nest it with a call to tilde_expand. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58326> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
