Re: [PATCH] binutils: testsuite: Fix add2line test cases on Windows.
This discussion revolves around fixing test cases for the add2line utility on Windows. Following a previous exchange about drive letters, the original author of the fix is seeking clarification from Jan Beulich regarding whether characters other than standard letters (like underscores or square brackets) can act as drive letters on Windows. This clarification is needed to ensure the test cases accurately cover Windows path variations.
