Hello,

I found the following bug in the Beta version of GPC.

Best regards, Peter Dietrich -------------------- GPC-Version (gpc -v):

Reading specs from C:\usr\local\lib\gcc-lib\i386-mingw32\2.8.1\specs gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1

System-Version:

Windows NT 4.0 on i386

Problem description:

The following program shows that FExpand does not reliably expand pathnames containing ..:

program test (output);

uses GPC;

begin writeln ('Current working directory: ', GetCurrentDirectory); writeln ('Expanding ..\sort : ', FExpand ('..\sort')); end.

The program output:

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\isidef>gpc --automake test4.pas

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\isidef>a.exe Current working directory: F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\isidef Expanding ..\sort : F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\sort

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\isidef>cd ..\uvw

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw>..\isidef\a.exe Current working directory: F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw Expanding ..\sort : F:\sort

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw>cd ..\lib

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\lib>..\isidef\a.exe Current working directory: F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\lib Expanding ..\sort : F:\sort

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\lib>cd ..\uvw_in

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw_in>..\isidef\a.exe Current working directory: F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw_in Expanding ..\sort : F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\sort

The output of dir ..:

F:\PROJECTS\ISIDATA\uvw_in>dir .. Datenträger in Laufwerk F: ist NT4 Datenträgernummer: 2586-5521
