What did you do?
I'm trying to get the base name of an absolute windows file path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-24\bin\server\jvm.dll
My program is an ELF executable running on linux.
Here's a code that reproduces the issue: https://go.dev/play/p/-LaynyUnMoi
What did you see happen?
I got the absolute path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-24\bin\server\jvm.dll
What did you expect to see?
I expected to get the base name: jvm.dll
This issue happened only when this program was built and ran on linux or darwin. When I build this program on windows, it works as expected.

path/filepath will only work for the os it's built on, not generically across OSes. if you need to process windows paths on Linux then you need something else
