Subject: RE: abbreviate-file-name on Windows seems incorrect
Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 14:03:14 -0800 [thread overview]

It seems that `abbreviate-file-name' does not recognize the effect of using
`setenv' inside Emacs (on Windows).
1. Outside Emacs, set $HOME to c:\ ("c:\\" as a Lisp string).
emacs -Q
(getenv "HOME") ; => "c:\\"
(setenv "HOME" "c:/drews-lisp-20/")
; => "c:/drews-lisp-20/"
(abbreviate-file-name "c:/drews-lisp-20/")
; => "c:/drews-lisp-20/" (EXPECTED "~/")
That is, I would expect $HOME to be replaced by ~/ (or perhaps ~), but it
was not.
2. Outside Emacs, set $HOME to c:\drews-lisp-20\.
emacs -Q
(getenv "HOME") ; => "c:\\drews-lisp-20\\"
(abbreviate-file-name "c:/drews-lisp-20/")
; => "~/"
(setenv "HOME" "c:/drews-lisp-20/")
; => "c:/drews-lisp-20/"
(abbreviate-file-name "c:/drews-lisp-20/")
; => "~/"
`directory-abbrev-alist' remained nil throughout both tests.
