Hello,
In short, I have a problem with passing "\\127.0.0.127\foo.cxx"
argument to a called program:
- if the executed program is compiled with cygwin's gcc the program
receives \127.0.0.127\foo.cxx (just one backslash at the begining).
- if it's compiled with cl it gets \\127.0.0.127\foo.cxx (double
backslash - what I expected)
I suspect cygwin incorrectly mangles backslashes in this case - or
maybe I'm quoting it incorrectly, or it is Windows fault?
'\' is an escape character in C, Unix, and Linux. In Windows, it's a
path separator. Use '/' instead when working with Cygwin and you'll
avoid allot of problems. Better yet, use POSIX paths exclusively.
