6 // Unfortunately, on windows, it looks like msvcrt.dll is silently translating
7 // verbatim paths under the hood to non-verbatim paths! This manifests itself as
8 // gcc looking like it cannot accept paths of the form `\\?\C:\...`, but the
9 // real bug seems to lie in msvcrt.dll.
11 // Verbatim paths are generally pretty rare, but the implementation of
12 // `fs::canonicalize` currently generates paths of this form, meaning that we're
13 // going to be passing quite a few of these down to gcc, so we need to deal with
16 // For now we just strip the "verbatim prefix" of `\\?\` from the path. This
17 // will probably lose information in some cases, but there's not a whole lot
18 // more we can do with a buggy msvcrt...
