package router // CleanPath is the URL version of path.Clean, it returns a canonical URL path // for p, eliminating . and .. elements. // // The following rules are applied iteratively until no further processing can // be done: // 1. Replace multiple slashes with a single slash. // 2. Eliminate each . path name element (the current directory). // 3. Eliminate each inner .. path name element (the parent directory) // along with the non-.. element that precedes it. // 4. Eliminate .. elements that begin a rooted path: // that is, replace "/.." by "/" at the beginning of a path. // // If the result of this process is an empty string, "/" is returned func CleanPath(p string) string { // Turn empty string into "/" if p == "" { return "/" } n := len(p) var buf []byte // Invariants: // reading from path; r is index of next byte to process. // writing to buf; w is index of next byte to write. // path must start with '/' r := 1 w := 1 if p[0] != '/' { r = 0 buf = make([]byte, n+1) buf[0] = '/' } trailing := n > 2 && p[n-1] == '/' // A bit more clunky without a 'lazybuf' like the path package, but the loop // gets completely inlined (bufApp).
