Hi,
a recent patch in MSYS:
https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/commit/cd4b539b367dc2a21041405cb52d3bf5dbf1a3be
supports finer-grained control about runtime behaviour as configured via
MSYS/Cygwin environment.
Maybe it would be a good idea to patch cygwin upstream likewise.
Test case (here in Windows German language configuration):
MSYS:
> xcopy
Unzulässige Parameteranzahl
0 Datei(en) kopiert
> MSYS=disable_pcon xcopy
Unzul▒ssige Parameteranzahl
0 Datei(en) kopiert
>
Cygwin:
> xcopy
Unzulässige Parameteranzahl
0 Datei(en) kopiert
> CYGWIN=disable_pcon xcopy
Unzulässige Parameteranzahl
0 Datei(en) kopiert
> CYGWIN=disable_pcon sh -c xcopy
Unzul�ssige Parameteranzahl
0 Datei(en) kopiert
>
In Cygwin, an additional shell is needed to make the $CYGWIN
configuration effective, in MSYS now it works directly.
Question, being curious: How does this work at all? What system call of
the shell makes the change effective?
Thomas
