As described in #1687, MSBuild may provide as output file (
/Fo
) a folder, ending with a trailing backslash, for example/FoRelease\
.msvc detects this case and chose
{folder}/{input_file_name}.obj
as output file. For example, for/cfoo.c /FoRelease\
, the expected output path (by linker and msbuild) isRelease/foo.obj
.Currently, we would use
Release.obj
, leading to:The proposed fix simply check if the
std::path::Path
contains a trailing backslash (see https://users.rust-lang.org/t/trailing-in-paths/43166) and correctly guess the path if so.
