Define a lightweight struct to represent paths #257

Closed Corniel closed 4 months ago

Corniel commented 4 months ago

Buildalyzer both has to work on UNIX and Windows bases file systems. To deal with (potential) case sensitivity of paths, It also deals with different directory separator paths. The internal representation of IOPath uses UNIX's '/', and the .ToString() representation is file system based.

My plan is to start using this struct instead of string's for properties that represent IO Paths. Personally, I'm also a big fan of System.IO.FileInfo, and System.IO.DirectoryInfo, hence the methods to convert into one of these. The reason not use them directly has to do with the fact that both types handle equality based on their reference, not the thing the represent on the file system.

@phmonte Ready for merge? (I'd like to use this in #243 )
