in `cobra_prim.c` file, line 178, `/../bin` seems to be a left over, or!?

[yilmazdurmaz]

there is this line in cobra_prim.c file, line 178

    {   n += strlen(c_base) + strlen("/../bin") - strlen("$COBRA");

This seems to be a left-over and might lead to problems in long run.

It seems it was written with two things in mind:

• binary files would be in $COBRA/bin folder
• and rules defined by $C_BASE would be under $COBRA/rules

currently, there are two (again two) issues with this:

• binaries are under $COBRA/bin_[mac|cygwin|linux]. The first issue can be solved by telling users to rename the binary folder for their system to bin.
• one can change their rules folder with $C_BASE before running Cobra for any reason and then the address for bin will not be even pointing to Cobra directory.

If the purpose of this line is to point to bin folder for cobra, it needs some changes. Unfortunately, I don't have any proposal about that. Hope you will find one

PS: May I ask a question!? is nimble-code a team or a single programmer? I feel overwhelming you right now with these issues :)

oh that's a good catch! originally there was just that /bin directory without the extended versions for different platforms good catch -- i should fix that for sure don't know how to address the second point - will have to think about that on.

no worries about overwhelming me -- more questions, and more findings, are good to improve the tool. yes, one person, so no time lost in team meetings - the royal "we" can just do the work!

I appreciate every single person project when it feels good for the person. Just stating that here, as I perceive the fashionable perspective of considering such configuration a „problematic situation“ as missing the point: The heart of creation beats in individual people. Any „we“ may band up together, but that is only one possible route …

@nimble-code Thanks a lot for creating and sharing this unique tool.

true - many really influential developments were spearheaded by one person (Unix: Ken Thompson, C: Dennis Ritchie, C++: Bjarne Straustrup, Plan9: Rob Pike, etc. etc.)
