ugexe Does it make sense for MoarVM to do path normalization on windows? Particularly changing / to \. I ask because it probably does make sense for MoarVM to prefix absolute paths on windows with \\?\. However, that prefix also means / cannot be used. If MoarVM does not do this path slash normalization (on windows) then it probably doesn't make sense for MoarVM to also handle the \\?\ prefix. But it 19:41
seems like MoarVM *should* handle the \\?\ prefix so MoarVM itself can be used regardless of where it is installed on windows
[Coke] seems like this is a vm issue more than a raku or nqp issue. 19:44
ugexe it could be argued that it is the responsibility of whatever is using the vm to send the proper paths 19:45
but yeah i tend to agree it would be better in the vm 19:46
all the other backends already handle this
