Windows paths starting with \\?\<Drive Letter> do not work

[MolotovCherry]

If you have a path C:\foo*, it works, but if you have a path with \\?\C:\foo*, it doesn't return anything. The \\?\ is a valid path and works in other parts of the Rust std library.

Workaround for now:
Strip \\?\ from the beginning of the path

I just ran into this error as well. This happens when a windows path in canonicalized via the standard library, resulting in a path that glob fails to function on

Noticed this same issue on Windows

As a workaround, removing the prefix \\?\ works

[ChrisDenton]

Note that removing the \\?\ prefix is not always the right thing to do. E.g. \\?\UNC\ should be converted to \\. Also there are some rarer paths which don't have a win32 equivalent (e.g. a path that ends with a dot or device that isn't currently mounted to a drive or directory).
