[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51268] addpath fails for UNC paths on Windows

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51268 (project octave):

The problem is probably with the following lines in load-path.cc (around line
2420) introduces with
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d5a58720459d

          // Remove duplicate directory separators
          dir.erase (std::unique (dir.begin (), dir.end (),
                                  [](char l, char r)
                                  {
                                    return l == r &&
                                           octave::sys::file_ops::is_dir_sep
(l);
                                  }),
                     dir.end ());


How could that be adapted to allow the string to start with two directory
separators (on Windows)?

For the time being you could map the network share to a drive letter and add
the folder to the path from there.
