I posted as attachments an updated dlls kernel32 volume.c with the
GetVolumePathNameW forward slash changes for Wine 3.3 a few posts back if
anyone is interested and also an added forward slash test (dlls kernel32 tests
volume.c) and the volume tests pass with the forward slash changes.


The problem gets down to if a Windows app calls GetVolumePathName directly with
a forward slash path name which is not an error as far as Windows is concerned,
it's just that most Windows apps will be calling GetVolumePathName directly
with a back slash path name but Windows still caters for calls to
GetVolumePathName that have a forward slash path name and maybe Mac programmers
porting to Windows might happen to use forward slash pathnames or whatever, so
there is a possibility that some Windows apps are going to call
GetVolumePathName directly with a forward slash path name and so Wines
GetVolumeNameW would need to be changed to cater for this as Windows can cater
for it.
