Description of issue

As many folks are aware, much of the world has sandardized on forward slashes as path / folder delimiters (eg /path/to/your/file.txt or https://domain.com/path/to/your/view).

Windows, however, has historically relied on backslashes (eg C:\path\to\your\file.txt).

Node, of course, respects both per-platform:

• *nix: console.log(process.cwd()) // /path/to/current/folder
• Win: console.log(process.cwd()) // C:\\path\\to\\current\\folder

When node-glob returns results on Windows, it outputs them with forward slash-normalized paths. This can cause cross-platform compatibility problems.

Example:

let files = glob.sync('*') let relativePaths = files.map(file => file.replace(path.join(process.cwd(), path.sep))) 

In Windows, the above code would not work, as using methods intended to ease cross platform compatibility (like path.sep) break with node-glob's forward-slash normalized output.

Expected behavior

• Glob would output file paths that are platform-native and that can be used without additional denormalization steps

Repro steps

• Glob files on Windows; file paths are normalized to forward slashes
• Compare to process.cwd(), etc. in Windows; file Node presents backslash-normalized file paths
