[Gcl-devel] Truename

Hi all.

My understanding is that TRUENAME should complain if passed a filename which
does not exist.  Under Windows GCL, this only partly works (see the
transcript below).

Does this curently work correctly under the Unix ports?

Cheers

Mike Thomas.


======================================================
;; This one exists
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/hello.txt"))

#p"c:/hello.txt"

;; This one doesn't, but elicits no failure
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/non-existent"))

#p"c:/non-existent"

;; This one doesn't, and seems to work correctly
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/non-existent/"))

Error: Cannot get the truename of #p"c:/non-existent/".
