Not happy with the error message but didn't come up with anything better. Suggestions are welcome.

Need to double check what tests we have when using relative path names at the root level. I'd like to make the behavior consistent because a file name is a specific case of relative paths. So far there are no assertions and no errors but file lookup doesn't seem to be working.

Hi Volodymyr, thanks for improving this.

Another interesting place to look at is unittests/Basic/VirtualFileSystemTest.cpp

Makes sense. My general impression is that relative paths don't make sense here either, but you can address that in a follow up patch (giving time for any potential counterexample on this).

What about the message you used in the comment: file entry is at the root level, outside of any directory ?

Thanks for the pointer. Probably I'll move the added test there as it doesn't need full file system interaction and doesn't need to execute entire clang_cc1.

Based on the code, relative paths won't work for file lookup. That is so because in RedirectingFileSystem::lookupPath we convert paths to absolute

if (std::error_code EC = makeAbsolute(Path))
  return EC;
// ...
sys::path::const_iterator Start = sys::path::begin(Path);
sys::path::const_iterator End = sys::path::end(Path);

and textually compare them with VFS entry name.

Having an error for relative paths makes the change cleaner, so I'll include it in this patch.

  • Make diagnostics more general, use unit tests.
