Function
GLibbuild_path
since: 2.0
Description
Creates a path from a series of elements using separator as the
separator between elements.
At the boundary between two elements, any trailing occurrences of separator in the first element, or leading occurrences of separator in the second element are removed and exactly one copy of the separator is inserted.
Empty elements are ignored.
The number of leading copies of the separator on the result is the same as the number of leading copies of the separator on the first non-empty element.
The number of trailing copies of the separator on the result is
the same as the number of trailing copies of the separator on
the last non-empty element. (Determination of the number of
trailing copies is done without stripping leading copies, so
if the separator is ABA, then ABABA has 1 trailing copy.)
However, if there is only a single non-empty element, and there are no characters in that element not part of the leading or trailing separators, then the result is exactly the original value of that element.
Other than for determination of the number of leading and trailing copies of the separator, elements consisting only of copies of the separator are ignored.
