Function `dmd.root.filename._mkdir`

The code before used the POSIX function mkdir on Windows. That function is now deprecated and fails with long paths, so instead we use the newer CreateDirectoryW.


						
				int _mkdir
				(
				

				  const(char)* path
				

				) nothrow;

CreateDirectoryW is the unicode version of the generic macro CreateDirectory. CreateDirectoryA has a file path limitation of 248 characters, mkdir fails with less and might fail due to the number of consecutive ..s in the path. CreateDirectoryW also normally has a 248 character limit, unless the path is absolute and starts with \\?\. Note that this is different from starting with the almost identical \\?.

Parameters

Name	Description
path	The path to create.

Returns

0 on success, 1 on failure.
