That is only if you use the CommandLine property.
If you use the stringlist (Parameters), no parsing is done.
The mentioned routine is the tstringlist to array of pchar conversion, and
afaik also applies to the separated part.
Since NIL is a termination of an array of pchar in C that is not ok.
if that were the case, argc would not have been introduced,
which is why I doubt the use of this argument ?
C code that regards nil as the last element of the argv array is just wrong.
In each case, it is not relevant to the discussion.
behaviour of strnew should be checked in both TP and Delphi (since both have
strnew) and if necessary changed. (returning FPC_EMPTYCHAR or whatever)
If it can't be changed, it must be worked around in process.inc.
Exactly my initial point.
That being said, it is a very good idea for fpcup maintainers to cleanup
legacy as much as possible, and work towards representing a commandline as
an array of string, and not a single string.
Indeed, agreed 100%.
If the code still used commandline, then that must be changed to the new
parameters.
If I recall correctly, commandline is marked deprecated so it should be easy to
spot.
Michael.
