Subject: [PATCH] gen_compile_commands.py: fix path resolve with symlinks in it
Date:   Mon,  4 Dec 2023 18:41:42 +0800
Message-Id: <20231204104141.3618547-1-xujialu@vimux.org>

Feedback-ID: bizesmtp:vimux.org:qybglogicsvrgz:qybglogicsvrgz5a-1
Precedence: bulk

When symbolic links are involved in the path, os.path.abspath might not
resolve the symlinks and instead return the absolute path with the
symlinks intact.

use pathlib.Path resolve() instead of os.path.abspath()
