Thanks a lot for doing this testing. Yes, it is consistent with what you
said: The wildcard expansion between GetCommandLine() and argv has been
changed to consider '*' inside double-quotes as a wildcard.
Any idea what gnulib can do against it?
The only thing I can see is to modify the source code of all programs:
Change
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
to
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
argv = RESTORE_PROGRAM_ARGV (argv);
where gnulib would define a macro RESTORE_PROGRAM_ARGV like this:
#ifdef WINDOWS_NATIVE
# define RESTORE_PROGRAM_ARGV(argv) parse_and_split (GetCommandLine ())
#else
# define RESTORE_PROGRAM_ARGV(argv) argv
#endif
But such source code modifications are obviously heavy. Do you see
something simpler?
