A: implicitly uses "normal" to normalize the result, so all empty, ".", and ".." path components are resolved if possible. This is our "normal" definition, which is distinct from "canonical" and "absolute" in that it does not consult the underlying storage or the current working directory.

for: join("foo", "..", "bar") == "bar" and join("..", "foo") == "../foo"

against: join("foo", "..", "bar") == "foo/../bar"

B: recognizes and follows absolute paths.

for: join("foo", "/bar") == "/bar" (Unix) join("Foo", "c:\\Bar") == "c:\\Bar" (Microsoft)

  • Kris Kowal
  • Wes Garland

against: join("foo", "/bar") == "foo/bar"

  • Mário Valente
  • Zachary Carter
  • Daniel Friesen (fuzzy)
