      Since 6.9.2 (maybe earlier), QTemporaryDir::path() does not return canonical path anymore.

      This makes it harder to calculate relative paths between canonical/non-canonical version of the same path.

      #include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QTextStream>
#include <QTemporaryDir>
#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    QTextStream ts(stdout);
    ts << QCoreApplication::translate("hello", "Hello, World!\n");
    QTemporaryDir d;
    ts << d.path();
    ts.flush();
}

      With 6.8.3: path starts with /var/private:

      /private/var/folders/jw/xxt0trhn3b7g56d10bj997nm0000gn/T/qt_temp-SAnbymMacBook-Pro:helloworld-qt

      With 6.9.2: path starts with /var:

      /var/folders/jw/xxt0trhn3b7g56d10bj997nm0000gn/T/qt_temp-tGZQyGMacBook-Pro:helloworld-qt
