I have recently upgraded from 1.5.12 to 1.5.23 and noticed something that
has me wondering. I compiled this on 1.5.23 and have run it under cmd.exe
on on 1.5.12 and 1.5.23:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i, c;
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
printf("arg[%d]: '%s'\n", i, argv[i]);
}
On 1.5.12:
C:\>e '/.*/'
arg[0]: 'e'
arg[1]: '/.*/'
On 1.5.23:
C:\>e '/.*/'
arg[0]: 'e'
arg[1]: '/../'
arg[2]: '/./'
arg[3]: '/.other/'
It appears that the runtime initialization on 1.5.23 is doing command line
expansion - is this correct? If so, is this change documented somewhere so
I get the full explanation?
thanks for any insight,
jim
