I would just like to remind everyone that there are now only two days left until voting ends. While I am certainly pleased that everyone has so far voted "yes", I am a bit worried that so few people have voted in the first place. This module may become a permanent part of D's standard library. If you care about this, either way, please cast your vote now. -Lars

I suspect there are many people who have not followed the debate nor reviewed the code who are therefore taking the view that to cast a vote would be somewhat out of order. I think that as long as those people who have been active in the evaluation have cast a vote, and Walter et al. are happy that due process has been followed, then even with what appears to be a low turn out, given that it is yes, nem con, becoming part of the standard library is a sensible natural consequence. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder ekiga.n= et 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

Yeah. IMHO, the voting process is mostly a formality, though a necessary one. If a module makes it to a vote, it's probably going to be overwhelmingly accepted, but that's because the process serves as an effective deterrent to crappy code making it to a vote, not because the vote isn't serving any useful purpose. It's kind of like Ph.D. thesis defenses in the U.S. Almost noone ever fails, but that's because noone ever defends their thesis until they're almost sure it would pass, not because the defense process is a useless rubber stamp.

That makes horror stories of failed defenses all the more horrifying :o). Apologies for not voting. I'm not able to put time into a review now, but I'm confident that the process has shaken any major issues I might have had with the module. We've come a long way in terms of community and process.

My vote is "yes", with a few advisory comments. Comments on the documentation: * "This module is used to parse path strings." -> "This module is used to manipulate path strings." * "perform any I/O" -> "perform any actual file system actions" * "use std.file.isDir and std.file.exists" -> use the XREF macro to generate cross-reference links. * "backslashes on this platform" -> "backslashes on that platform" * "The result of calling a function on an ill-formed path is undefined." This simplifies documentation but is a bit extreme. We could and should specify the behavior for strings that don't look quite like paths. * BTW we should have a validPath() function that tells whether a string looks like a valid path or not. * Add example: assert (baseName("dir/file.ext", ".xyz") == "file.ext"); * defaultExtension -> setDefaultExtension? * absolutePath calls getcwd(), negating the assertion in the beginning that there's no real directory access going on. * absolutePath and others use string, others use generic characters. Why? (This is my strongest comment.) * filenameCharCmp and filenameCmp -> why long and not int? * Example in expandTilde uses odd ALL_UPERCASE variable names. Comments on the implementation: * We're increasingly moving towards consolidating imports into one. * "." is hardcoded as a symbol for the current dir. * Would be interesting to figure what it would take to make pathSplitter reuse splitter. * Misalignment in lines 2195--2238. I think you don't need the extra scope there anyway, but if you do, don't make a special rule for that case - obey normal brace indentation. Andrei
