Yes, that is largely what I implemented. There is a platform
specific DIR_SEPARATOR used for path building and then an ISSLASH function
used for reading (or respective indexof type functions for reading the last
). I did implement most of the shared path code in lib/filename.h but for
windows I do need strpbrk. Am I ok to just add that as a dependency for
the filename module? I know some of the modules adds deps with conditions
like [test $HAVE_FCHOWNAT = 0 || test $REPLACE_FCHOWNAT = 1] but those
are more about if that module is required. I could add a conditional like:
gl_CONDITIONAL([GL_COND_OBJ_WINDOWS_PATH],
[case "$host_os" in cygwin* | mingw* | windows*) true;; *)
false;; esac])
as used on some other modules and only add that dep for windows.
