    Description

      The behavior of QFileInfo::isRoot() confuses a bit.

      #include <QCoreApplication>
      
      #include <QFileInfo>
      #include <QDir>
      #include <QDebug>
      
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      {
          QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
      
          auto foo = [](const QString &path) {
              QFileInfo fi{path};
              qDebug() << path << fi.canonicalFilePath();
              qDebug() << fi.isRoot();
              qDebug() << QDir(fi.canonicalFilePath()).isRoot();
          };
      
          foo("C:\\");
          foo("C:\\test\\..\\");
          foo("C:\\..\\");
      
          return a.exec();
      }
      

      The output is following:

      "C:\\" "C:/"
      true
      true
      "C:\\test\\..\\" "C:/"
      false
      true
      "C:\\..\\" "C:/"
      false
      true
      

      Shall the result of QFileInfo::isRoot() for the same canonical path be the same?
