[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60554] is_system_fcn_file doesn short names

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #60554 (project octave):

                 Summary: Octave default paths stored as short names =>
is_system_fcn_file doesn short names

Follow-up Comment #1:

Octave on Windows isn't using the hard-coded values for the home directory (or
it wouldn't be able to be installed in an arbitrary directory). At least, that
is the case if started with one of the startup scripts.
Instead, it is using the value of the environment variable OCTAVE_HOME.
For Octave 6, the startup scripts convert the installation directory to a
short file name to avoid potential issues with spaces in paths. See e.g. bug
#59923.
If all goes to plan, that will be different for Octave 7.

So, the values you are seeing in your test file are the ones that are
expected.

The "is_system_fcn_file" function should be able to cope with that though.
I thought I remembered reading about a similar issue somewhere. But I can't
find a bug report for it atm.

Re-titling the report to the specific issue.
