Note that your test above should really print GetCommandLine() too. > I know, in my example, it is actually the unix shell that is breaking > the argument in half, but I am confident the windows C runtime startup > routines do the same. Well, the thing you have to understand is that Windows and Unix handle things very differently. On Unix the new process does not receive a command line but a string array. Argc/argv just point to that data. On Windows the new process receives a single string which is the raw command line. So what happens in Wine is that when a process invokes CreateProcess? The command line is broken up into argc/argv, passed down to exec, then the Wine startup code rebuilds the command line from there. If your process has a main then it gets the original argc/argv (almost, Wine still has to remove the wine specific options), and if it has a WinMain, then it gets the rebuilt command line. And if you invoke Wine from the command line or from any Unix process, there is no 'original commandline'. But Wine will rebuild one from argc/argv just like it always does. Now, the only information loss is at the level of the spaces between the arguments on the command line. See this email for more details: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/01/0240.html > Unlike the unix shell, they only preserve spaces > in an argument quoted by \", and treat " as an ordinary character. Not true. Here is a test I did in Windows: c:\>main.exe "quoted string" GetCommandLine=[main.exe "quoted string"] main -> argc=2 0 [main.exe] 1 [quoted string] c:\>main.exe \"quoted string\" GetCommandLine=[main.exe \"quoted string\"] main -> argc=3 0 [main.exe] 1 ["quoted] 2 [string"] Windows handles " and \" just like the Unix shells do.
