Description Luca Bruno 2010-09-09 14:01:18 UTC 
Hello,
several GNOME modules use realpath() and its usage is not often portable due to PATH_MAX (e.g. for Hurd), and it involves a series of #ifdef'ing and copy&paste from other code. Also other applications (like Vala) has its own realpath utility function (except it doesn't expand symbolic links).

I'd like to request inclusion for a portable g_realpath (or such) for obtaining the full path of a filename equal (or similar) to realpath.

Essentially a duplicate of bug #111848 , I'd say.
