[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [44725] trunk/blender/source: use BLI_path_cmp() rather then strcmp()

[Campbell Barton]

Before testing with BLI_path_cmp() its up to each caller to run
BLI_path_abs on each path,
this normalizes the path (removes /../../ ) and switches slashes to
the OS native.

If there are relative path comparing with absolute - those need to be
fixed or commented as exceptions to the rule.

We could test if both files are in fact the same (something like
pythons os.path.samefile(), but we may be dealing with paths that are
not yet written, and that also means you cant trick blender with
symlinks - which can come in handy).
