Sorry I should have specified, this is not bash as this happens with the gcc
compiled
program within a Command Prompt session.
K:\>a.exe -s something "something d\:\\hello"
Command-line arguments:
argv[0] a
argv[1] -s
argv[2] something
argv[3] something d\:\hello
CL: K:\sat-misc\src\sat-main\sat\src\wiz\a -s something "something d\:\hello"
==============================================================
For some reason when I compile a C program in gcc, double backslashes within
quotes are stripped.
But if I compile with Visual Studio this does not happen. I used a small test
program to demonstrate.
VS
c:\msvc2010_SP1\VC>a.exe -s something "something d\:\\hello"
Command-line arguments:
argv[0] a.exe
argv[1] -s
argv[2] something
argv[3] something d\:\\hello
CL: a.exe -s something "something d\:\\hello"
GCC
$ ./a.exe -s something "something d\:\\hello"
Command-line arguments:
argv[0] ./a
argv[1] -s
argv[2] something
argv[3] something d\:\hello
CL: K:\sat-misc\src\sat-main\sat\src\wiz\a -s something "something d\:\hello"
Is there some compiler option or setting I'm unaware of?
Thanks,
Glenn

#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, // Number of strings in array argv
char *argv[], // Array of command-line argument strings
char **envp ) // Array of environment variable strings
{
int count;
char *gcl;
// Display each command-line argument.
printf(" \nCommand-line arguments:\n" );
for( count = 0; count < argc; count++ )
printf( " argv[%d] %s\n", count, argv[count] );
gcl = GetCommandLine();
printf("CL: %s\n",gcl);
}
