[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58326] canonicalize_file_name returns empty on file names starting with tilde

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58326 (project octave):

I don't really see this as a bug. Different functions have different purposes,
and the purpose of canonicalize_file_name is to return the physical full path
of an existing file. It should be kept as close to its C definition as
possible. If you also want to expand tilde shortcuts, nest it with a call to
tilde_expand.
