Subject: Correct the behavior of the utils_expand_path function
X-Git-Tag: v2.4.0-rc1~46
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=116f95d94575a68aee90fff79c064119729d0d24;p=lttng-tools.git

Correct the behavior of the utils_expand_path function

Even if the utils_expand_path function was intended to allow to
use unexistent directory paths, it was in fact only working for
some kind of arguments. Paths like "foo", "bar/" or "bar/foo"
when the "bar" directory does not exist wasn't working. This
patch introduce a new way to expand paths in this function that
also works properly for these kind of arguments.
