Bug 505 – rdmd and dmd do not correctly preserve program arguments with spaces.

rdmd and dmd do not correctly preserve program arguments with spaces. With a test program that prints args.length and args[1] : $ test.exe "a b c" d args.length: 3 args[1]: a b c $ rdmd test.d "a b c" d args.length: 5 args[1]: a $ dmd -run test.d "a b c" d args.length: 5 args[1]: a Note: I actually depend on this in some scripts of mine which I use often, and which this bug breaks in many situations :(

Linux works fine. Here's a fix for rdmd on windows (line 104): version (Windows) { exeargv ~= "\"" ~ exepath ~ "\""; foreach(char[] arg; argv) exeargv ~= "\"" ~ arg ~ "\""; } else { exeargv ~= exepath; foreach(char[] arg; argv) exeargv ~= arg; } Before the fix: C:\Zz>rdmd_win test.d "1 2 3" 4 "567" args.length: 6 args[1]: 1 args[2]: 2 args[3]: 3 args[4]: 4 args[5]: 567 After: C:\Zz>rdmd_win test.d "1 2 3" 4 "567" args.length: 4 args[1]: 1 2 3 args[2]: 4 args[3]: 567
