I am happy to approve this if Windows expert like @ChrisDenton nod on the Rust side. It will be better if std exposes a better API for this.

Should we wait for the stabilization of std::path::aboslute? We should also have a TODO here and call out where this piece of code come from. (Looks like fn absolute on windows to me.)

That would probably take a while.
Is there any issue discussion this? This sounds like a lot larger of a pitfall and it seems like this should either be fixed in the stdlib or that there should be a general crate for solving this problem (similar to |

Thanks, this seems reasonable to me. There is more long-term work to do here, but this should be fine to unblock the immediate needs. We have been using I pushed a small spelling fix. @bors r+ |

This adds a
try_canonicalizefunction that callsstd::fs::canonicalizeand on Windows falls back to getting an absolute path. Uses ofcanonicalizehave been replaced withstd::fs::canonicalize. On Windowsstd::fs::canonicalizemay fail due to incomplete drivers. In particularImDiskdoes not support it.Combined with rust-lang/rust#109231 this allows compiling crates on an
ImDiskRAM disk and I've tested that it works with various configuration using rcb.
