Sorry, I thought it was obvious. It does exactly what you wanted:
d:/current_dir/foo


----------------------------
   Headers: 

  #include <stdlib.h>
  
  Prototype: 

  int _abspath (char *dst, const char *src, int size); 
  
  Description: 

  Construct an absolute path name for the file name or directory name pointed 
to by src.  The absolute path 
  name is written to the array pointed to by dst.  It is assumed that there are 
size bytes available at dst, this 
  includes the terminating null character.  If there is an error, -1 is 
returned.  If _abspath() succeeds, 0 is 
  returned.  If size is too small, errno is set to ERANGE and -1 is returned.  
dst can be identical to src.  
  Backslashes are translated into forward slashes.  The absolute path name is 
not translated to lower case.  If 
  the string pointed to by src ends with a slash or backslash, the string 
pointed to by dst will end with a slash. 

  In contrast to _fullpath(), _abspath() works with non-existing paths: it 
accesses the appropriate drive 
  only for finding out the current working directory if necessary.
