Hi, I'm trying to implement the new features that were added in Delphi 12 to TPath. I've made a naive implementation based upon available documentation. Some questions about how it is supposed to behave are missing though: 1. The docs state that an exception is raised if the given paths contain invalid characters. Does the vlaue of the ValidateParams have any influence on this? 2. If not: what does this ValidateParams parameter do then? 3. if multiple paths are absolute (e.g. the 2nd, 3rd and 6th path is absolute): what will be returned? (My guess: either the first absolute one it finds, or the last one.)
Could anybody with Delphi 12 test the TPath.Combine(const Paths: array of string; const ValidateParams: Boolean = True): string; function with the test program that is in the bugtracker (https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/issues/40513#note_1645757436)? Does it behave like the implementation I came up with? If a parameter is "invalid", but it is not used in the result (e.g. because there is a valid absolute path as the second or later argument in the array), will there be an exception? Without (black box) testing it'll be impossible to implement these features. -- Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
