I've come across a curious and pernicious problem in llvm-rc. absolute.test checks that llvm-rc can accept a filename that is an absolute path. And it works just fine. Until you run it with a file that starts with "/c." Hmm, that's rather unfortunate indeed. FWIW, this test doesn't test specifically whether llvm-rc can accept an absolute filename as command line argument - all the llvm-rc tests run llvm-rc with absolute filenames as arguments. This test checks whether llvm-rc can handle an absolute filename reference within a rc file. I presume you run into the same issue on all other tests in test/tools/llvm-rc as well?

Actually, I don't. Now I wonder why...

One way of disambiguating between option and pathname for the sake of the tests, would be to add '--' before the path arguments, which seems to be handled by the LLVM options parser at least. Does that sound sensible to you (and others CC:d)?

I tried that and it didn't work. Same error.

$ ./bin/llvm-rc -- /choose/me Exactly one input file should be provided.
