Hi, Christopher, The current logic is: if the parameter contains quote, then put a quote around the parameter (winf.cc:78). However, if the quote is in the beginning/end, cygwin will still quote it, and thus double quoted parameter (such as ""a=b"").
In the previous example, I want to pass equal sign into a bat file, I know Windows bat will not see equal sign unless it is surrender by quote, so I have to quote it (that's not true now with auto quote for equal sign you just checked in). Then winf.cc:78 will detect the quote, and put another quote around, so what Windows bat see is a double quoted parameter. And surprisingly in this case, bat file does not treat ""a=b"" as a single parameter, %1 becomes ""a, %2 becomes b"". Anyway, my point for #2 is, if the parameter is quoted, it usually means user want the executable see the parameter inside the quote, it should be treated differently than quote in the middle of the parameter, we shall not add another quote around it in this scenario. And thanks for checkin #1. Thanks, Daniel
