[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D12115: [LLDB-MI] Fix -data-info-line when Windows filenames are used.

[Zachary Turner via lldb-commits]

Are you saying that there is a situation where you are given a path, and
you have no idea whether it is a posix path or a windows path?  That seems
strange to me.  Surely you must know (or be able to find out) if the
computer you are interfacing with is running Windows or non-Windows, right?
