Subject: Process argument passing problems
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 15:19:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5be40c24ed860fb56dc28523f464cadd5068c268.camel@gmail.com> (raw)

Hey everyone,

I have to following problem (using cmd.exe):

C:\cygwin64\home\xy>C:\cygwin64\bin\echo.exe -DFOO=\"BAR\" -DBAR=\"FOO\"
-DFOO=\BAR" -DBAR="FOO"

I would have expected:

-DFOO="BAR" -DBAR="FOO"

Context: I'm executing various cygwin programs through (native) Python and
passing C macros to gcc like 'gcc -DFOO=\"BAR\"' fails because of this.
