[haiku-development] Re: BPath::Append() resets the original path in case of failure.

Same Behavor in Zeta 1.5.

BPath path1 = "/aaa/bbb";
BPath path2 = "/ccc/ddd";
path1.Append(path2.Path());
printf("%s\n", path1.Path());
Prints = null

BPath path1 = "/aaa/bbb/";
BPath path2 = "ccc/ddd";
path1.Append(path2.Path());
printf("%s\n", path1.Path());
Prints = null

BPath path1 = "/aaa/bbb";
BPath path2 = "ccc/ddd";
path1.Append(path2.Path());
printf("%s\n", path1.Path());
Prints = /aaa/bbb            (no ccc/ddd added)

BPath path1 = "/aaa/bbb";
//BPath path2 = "/ccc/ddd";
path1.Append("ccc/ddd");
printf("%s\n", path1.Path());
Prints = /aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/
