Glenn, this is supposed to be my free month. Holiday. I'm only intervening because I see DOOM coming straight ahead. Your solution of having an inaccessible per thread cwd is the solution Windows tried. They FAILED. Please do not repeat that history. > we're not strangers to doing stuff like that (3d(1)) > and we're not strangers to having research prove us wrong Microsoft already tried option {a} in Windows as convenient, backwards compatible and easy path for developers. I think everyone agreed it was the worst possible solution - a lesson hard learned in a decade of problems spawned from that. By overall measure, you're making libast impossible to use for outside projects with that because you can no longer mix libast calls safely with calls from other utility libraries.
