I'm not a windows expert (actually I'm proud of never having worked with Windows in my whole life), but I think it is only the command line interface that insists of using '\' (because DOS used '/' as option switch).

So should we stick on using libgen provided basename to maximize the compatibility of different platforms ?

I don't think so. As the comment in "/usr/include/libgen.h" suggests, we should use "the weird XPG version of this function" only when really needed. And we definitely don;t need to do that on GNU/Linux systems.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
