C6000 CGT 7.3.6 (Linux): Linker does not handle double-slash (//) in path names properly

Hi,

The following command (note the double-slash in a path name)

cl6x -z -o=main.out a/b//c/d/file.obj -c a/b/c/d/main.obj

fails with the following message:

<Linking>
"/tmp/14635KpAAoj", line 4: fatal error: unrecognized file:  "a/b"
>> Compilation failure

If the double-slash is replaced with a single slash (/), linking works fine.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Extract the attached archive to a directory (in Linux)
  2. In file example.sh, modify the CC_PATH variable to point to the C6000 compiler in your system
  3. Execute example.sh

    I'm not sure that there is any guarantee that a "double slash" is allowed in a pathname, so the error might be reported all the way down at the OS level.  In which case, supporting it (apparently meaning the same as a single slash - where is that specified?) would have to be done by an ad hoc kludge in each application.

    Matti,

    Have you tried enclosing the path and file name in double quotes?

    i.e. "a/b//c/d/file.obj"
