Issue ID: 13518
Summary: thisExePath returns different results on Linux and Mac
OSX
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P1
Component: Phobos
Assignee: nob...@puremagic.com
Reporter: dl...@chillichef.com
When the executable is symlinked to another location, running thisExePath on
Linux gives the symlinked location. Doing the same on Mac OSX returns the
original location (doesn't follow the symlink).
Both outcomes are wanted in some cases though so when fixing this, maybe it is
a good idea to add an optional flag to follow symlinks? (I think it makes sense
for the flag defaultto to be false)
