POSIX allows one or more trailing slashes for directories.
From POSIX.1-2008, section 3.271 (Base Definitions / Pathname):
> A pathname can optionally contain one or more trailing <slash>
> characters. Multiple successive <slash> characters are considered to
> be the same as one <slash>, except for the case of exactly two
> leading <slash> characters.
On Windows, the extra trailing slashes are ignored for directories too.
Certain parts of the standard library try to determine whether or not a
transfer operation should either be a copy or a move. The prevalent notion
of move constructors/assignment operators is that they should not throw,
they simply move an already existing resource somewhere else.
This is typically done with 'std::move_if_noexcept'. Like the name says,
if a type's move constructor is noexcept, then the functions retrieves an
r-value reference (for move semantics), or an l-value (for copy semantics)
if it is not noexcept.
As IOFile deletes the copy constructor and copy assignment operators,
using IOFile with certain parts of the standard library can fail in
unexcepted ways (especially when used with various container
implementations). This prevents that.
This reverts commit 141f3bfb3a.
The implementation of getting absolute paths wasn't working
on non-Windows systems, which is a huge problem for IOS HLE.
Most modern Unix environments use 64-bit off_t by default: OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, OS X, and Linux libc implementations such as Musl.
glibc is the lone exception; it can default to 32 bits but this is
configurable by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
Avoiding the stat64()/fstat64() interfaces is desirable because they
are nonstandard and not implemented on many systems (including
OpenBSD and FreeBSD), and using 64 bits for stat()/fstat() is either
the default or trivial to set up.
