On Cygwin, the /dev/tty file exists, but the directory /dev does not. WE get this: [1]> (with-open-file (x "/dev/tty")) *** - nonexistent directory: #P"/dev/" Second-guessing the operating system's path component resolution strategy not only wastes cycles, but leads to incorrect guesses when the operating system recognizes special cases. Can't CLISP just take the pathname string and pass it to the open() system call? |
