<pre>Currently, for thin archives, llvm-ar simply takes the path specified on the
command-line, and adds the file with the name matching the path, with no
normalisation or anything. GNU ar normalises the file path added. Normalising
the path would make the output from 't' simpler, and would also shorten the
length of any strings in the archive's filename table:
<span class="quote">> ar rcT test1.a ./dir/../test.o
> ar t test1.a</span >
test.o
<span class="quote">> llvm-ar rc test2.a ./dir/../test.o
> llvm-ar t test2.a</span >
/./dir/../test.o # see <a class="bz_bug_link
