[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] unify protocol: and drive-letter: handling in filenames

[Michael Tokarev]

Currently recognision of protocol: and d: (drive letter on
windows) are spread over in block.c in adhoc manner, disallows
usage of filenames with colons in them, intermixes URLs (which
should be treated as protocol-specific) and pathnames.

The following patch series tries to address these defects.

After this patch series, protocol: prefix is recognized as
such only if it matches [a-z_]{1,31} pattern (so e.g.
./foo:bar is not recognized as having protocol "./foo"),
we don't combine c:\foo and d:bar on windows to form
(incorrect) c:\bar anymore, and overall path handling
is now a bit more clean, in my opinion anyway.

The patchset is, unfortunately, untested on Windows.

Thanks!

Michael Tokarev (3):
  make path_has_protocol() to return pointer instead of bool
  use new path_has_protocol() in bdrv_find_protocol()
  make path_combine() especially for filenames, not URLs
