![]() Converting between strings and paths interferes with cross compilation. This hasn't caused more problems only because cross compilation has tended to run on Unix platforms, where the generated paths are acceptable to Windows. But using strings goes wrong when manipulating a Windows-based build for further cross-build actions on Unix, and it can go wrong if paths contain bytes that cannot be encoded in strings. |
