Issue ===== While running the `test_utils_expand_path` test case on my machine, I get a Segfault. Here is the gdb backtrace: #0 __strlen_avx2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-avx2.S:62 #1 0x0000555555559eb7 in expand_double_slashes_dot_and_dotdot (path=0x0) at utils.c:223 #2 0x000055555555a2d8 in _utils_expand_path (path=0x55555556b250 "/a/b/c/d/e", keep_symlink=true) at utils.c:384 #3 0x000055555555a408 in utils_expand_path (path=0x55555556b250 "/a/b/c/d/e") at utils.c:423 #4 0x000055555555859e in test_utils_expand_path () at test_utils_expand_path.c:291 #5 0x00005555555589b0 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe5e8) at test_utils_expand_path.c:352 I get this backtrace because the function `utils_partial_realpath()` returns NULL when it tries to expand the "/a/b/c/d/e" path and realize that it could not exist since "/a" is a file and not a directory. Anyways, the returned NULL pointer is ignored and directly used in the `expand_double_slashes_dot_and_dotdot()` function right after. This configuration ("/a" being a file) is expected to fail but not to segfault. It could be reproduce in a real scenario when creating directory structures. Solution ======== Return an error if `utils_partial_realpath()` returns NULL.
