Description

C++23 WinAPI

• win_path_test - a collection of methods to retrieve the current executable path.
• create_hard_link - a utility to create a hard link at the path specified in ./path.txt.
• start - a utility to launch the executable located at the path specified in ./path.txt.

Usage:

1. Either rename one of the examples to ./path.txt, or create ./path.txt and write the desired path for testing.
2. Run create_hard_link.exe to create a hard link to win_path_test at the path specified in ./path.txt.
3. Now, running start.exe will launch the win_path_test instance located at the path from ./path.txt. This allows you to compare how different methods handle relative, long, short, and other Windows-specific paths.
