Bug ID: 44630
Summary: ccc-analyzer.bat does not preserve quotes in its
arguments
Product: clang
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: Static Analyzer
Assignee: dcough...@apple.com
Reporter: c.schrei...@ibexinnovations.co.uk

I have been trying to run scan-build on one of our project usually built with
Visual Studio. To run scan-build, I converted the project to CMake, used CMake
to produce MinGW-MakeFiles, which I then compiled with "scan-build
mingw32-make" (running from the mintty terminal shipped with Git, also called
Git Bash). After a bit of trial and error, I managed to get it to run
correctly, with one exception.
Our Visual Studio project was setting a pre-processor variable as a string with
quotes, and these quotes are meant to be part of the macro definition. The
build command generated by CMake generates the associated pre-processor command
as:
c++-analyzer [...] -DMACRO_NAME=\"the string\"
>From inside c++-analyzer.bat, when inspecting the command line arguments, I can
see that the characters \" (backslash+quote) are still there, however the
backslashes are lost when passing these command line arguments over to Perl.
Therefore the quotes are no longer escaped, and down the line the C++
pre-processor only sees the string without the quotes, which then fails
compilation.
I don't think this is a problem with my make files, because the project
compiles fine if I don't use scan-build. However, I managed to fix this by
replacing the content of c++-analyzer.bat to:
@echo off
set v_params=%*
set v_params=%v_params:\"=\\\"%
perl -S c++-analyzer "%v_params%"
This essentially replaces \" by \\\", escaping the backslash and the quote. I'm
sure the correct fix would have to be more generic than this.
