Hi,
I just ran into a quite nasty issue when using GitFileTree on Windows with the FileTree export format.
Apparently there are reserved names on Windows:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9
And I had an âauxâ and âaux:â methods in Pharo, which were attempted to be exported as âaux.stâ and âaux..stâ, but silently failed.
The silently fails part is really bad !
There are also other rules https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx#naming_convent... which might break binary selectors (I havenât tried those).
I am not sure how I am supposed to deal with this, but assuming Pharo wants to support all platforms, this should be resolved in some manner; in the meantime I will use some alternative name.
Thanks, Peter
