Compare filenames using g_file_equal() (2.83 KB, patch)

Description jessevdk@gmail.com 2012-01-06 12:15:58 UTC 
The source scanner compares the file path of a symbol with known file paths to be scanned in a case sensitive manner by using simple strcmp on the file path string. On HFS+, paths are case insensitive by default (as well as on Windows I believe). In combination with python returning paths all in lower case (even if the path is in upper case, like /Users being returned as /users), the strcmp fails on OS X when comparing the paths.

One quick fix would be to use g_ascii_strcasecmp on OS X in the particular function. A better fix however is to properly use GFile instead of comparing strings.

Compare filenames using g_file_equal()

Makes it work on case-sensitive file systems such as HFS+.
