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.
