Yes. I would consider it highly likely that people use the system as documented.

Yes, getcwd getdcwd is the function that needs to get involved to make C: resolve correctly.

      Cwd::getcwd doesn't take arguments, but ::realpath does

        It probably should have been getdcwd instead of getcwd.

        I believe that's an error on my part - I meant getdcwd but typed getcwd. getdcwd is the (Win32) function that takes a volume letter as argument.
