Subject: [PATCH] MdePkg/BaseLib: Fix PathRemoveLastItem to ignore consecutive '\'
Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 11:00:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d9b206d346af8fa90fda6b3cc4404a1f66f55d5.1494604752.git.jeff.westfahl@ni.com> (raw)

This patch makes PathRemoveLastItem ignore consecutive occurrences of the
'\' path separator.

Consider a path like "FS0:\ABC\DEF\\", noting the consecutive '\' path
separator characters at the end. The expected result of PathRemoveLastItem
on such a path is "FS0:\ABC\". However, what we get is "FS0:\ABC\DEF\".

We can see the result of this behavior with 'ls' in the EFI shell. Go a
couple of folders deep into a filesystem and try 'ls ..\..'. Here's an
example, with a filesystem with folder ABC in the root, with subfolder
DEF.

    FS0:\ABC\DEF\> ls ..
    Directory of: FS0:\ABC\
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>         8,192  .
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>             0  ..
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>         8,192  DEF
              0 File(s)           0 bytes
              3 Dir(s)
    FS0:\ABC\DEF\> ls ..\..
    Directory of: FS0:\ABC\
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>         8,192  .
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>             0  ..
    05/12/2017  15:46 <DIR>         8,192  DEF
              0 File(s)           0 bytes
              3 Dir(s)
    fs0:\ABC\DEF\>

As you can see, 'ls ..\..' lists only the parent folder. This patch
resolves the issue so that 'ls ..\..' lists the grandparent folder.
